This was my second pregnancy and we decided that we definitely wanted a doula this time around to help with natural child birth. My first experience was a bit traumatic and we hoped that a doula would help me to better cope with the pain and process of natural delivery. Maria came to our rescue, she was simply wonderful. We met with her a couple of times prior to my delivery where we practiced strategies for dealing with the contractions and the whole process of labor and delivery. She gave us many new techniques to try and practice. I started having early contractions for a full week before I delivered and Maria was available at every call and constantly in contact with us. On the day of my delivery Maria was wonderful. She was there with us through it all for the full 19 hours we were in the hospital from when my water broke until I delivered. She helped with giving ideas for ways we could kick start my active labor to coping strategies and pressure points once I reached active labor. I couldn't be happier with having her as a doula and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, calm, and very helpful doula to have with you during your pregnancy.
