Rebecca was our doula during the labor and birth of our second child. She actually filled in as a back up to our doula when she had an unexpected illness right before I was due. We were so grateful that Rebecca stepped in at our time of need. Although we did not meet her face to face until I was in active labor, she jumped right in as soon as she arrived! My labor went very quickly- 3 hours total and only 9 minutes of pushing- to all of our surprise- but Rebecca was invaluable to my husband and I during the intense and beautiful process! She knew my nurse that was on duty which made me feel like I had a team surrounding me. She allowed and helped my husband to be my first responder and helper. She affirmed us both throughout my labor and helped me feel at ease. She was a knowledgable sounding board when I had questions as I progressed. She applied pressure to my lower back when my contractions got so intense and it really helped. She made me feel calm. With Rebecca and my husband's support I was able to have the natural, drug-free birth that I was hoping to have! It was a beautiful and empowering experience. She helped me after delivery too and helped me feel calm and confident as the doctors helped me through the postpartum part of my delivery and as I nursed my newborn for the first time. She gave us lots of encouragement. My husband and I both were so grateful to have her support and expertise with us during one of our (now) most treasured memories of all time- the birth of our daughter! Anyone would be so blessed to have her as their birth partner/doula!!
