Hire Tara. You will be so thankful you did. As a first time mom, never having experienced childbirth before, I was quite nervous about what labor would be like. I knew that I wanted to have a natural birth, free of medication or interventions, if I could help it. Tara patiently answered all of our questions, was open & honest with us, helped inform us of all of our options and made us feel empowered. My husband doesn't handle blood well and she was understanding and helped him play a part, and stay engaged with me, while also stepping in, so that he didn't have to feel faint or queezy by the other things going on. Tara provides a home visit to help you labor while you are still at home before arriving at the hospital and it became invaluable when my water broke a month early. Tara was unable to come right when we arrived at the hospital but made sure to provide a wonderful backup doula who helped us in the early stages of labor until Tara could arrive. The things she taught us in our home equiped us, SO WELL. When she arrived, I was beginning to enter into the intense labor and I looked at her and my husband and started to ask for things I didn't want, like an epidural/c-secction. She looked at me and kindly said no (because that's exactly what I instructed her to do.) She then smiled and said "remember when you are ready to quit the baby is almost here", and she was 100% correct!! I couldn't believe it. She KNOWS what she is doing. My husband continues to rave about her and how helpful she was to both of us. She serves you as a family not just a mom. I recommend her to every women expecting that I meet. I can't say enough. She provides such priceless physical, emotional, spiritual and mental support. I will use her for every future baby! She also provides a home visit following the baby's birth and I was so thankful to learn details of my sons birth I wasn't aware of due to being so focused in the labor part. She gave me memories back. We LOVE Tara!
