Heather was an incredible doula, and I am so thankful we hired her. Leading up to the birth of my baby, she was always available to help. I texted and called her with lots of questions...and I did have lots, since this is our first baby :) She was so helpful with suggestions and recommendations, and she also was great about checking in with me every few days. During the delivery, she was an incredible support to me - she looked at my birth plan and talked to the nurses; she coached me on how to breathe; gave me suggestions for positions; brought me cool washcloths and water; fixed my hair. She also took photos and video of my baby being born, which is such a gift to have. She was available to do whatever we needed, and this also helped my husband greatly, as he got to be a part of the birth without feeling the uncertainty of not knowing what to do for me. Heather was a great support to both of us. I am also positive that my birth would not have been so smooth and quick without her help. My labor was a total of about 7 hours from when contractions started to when baby was born, and I was able to deliver vaginally with no medicine. I know that I could not have done that without Heather's help and support. She was invaluable to my husband and me, and we are so grateful! Thank you, Heather!!
