When Sinclair mentioned to me she wanted to chat with Sarah to support us as “her” Doula, of course I said yes (what Sinclair wants she gets!). I initially thought “great! she will have another hand to hold if we have a natural birth.”
I could not have been more wrong about my own complete misunderstanding of a Doula.
One thing I didn’t realize is that Sarah wasn’t just Sinclair’s Doula...she was OUR Doula. Sarah not only supported Sinclair through this process, but I truly felt that it was just as much “our” birth as it was hers (that’s not meant to downplay Sinclair’s superhero like ability and she has 100x more strength than I could ever hope to have...more-so to explain the support we received from Sarah).
She also supported us with ALL of our birth decisions, she’s not just for naturals births, she’s for all births. She wanted us to have an amazing experience no matter what we wanted and I honestly could say that I can’t imagine having another baby without her!
Sarah is amazing, understanding, so supportive to both of us and our family. We will DEFINITELY be calling her again when the time comes AND would gladly serve as a reference anytime!
