My husband and I weren't sure at first if we wanted to hire a doula, but our midwife told us no one ever regrets it so we ended up going for it. I am so so glad we did and that we had the privilege of having Renee as that doula! Our midwives were wonderful too, but it was so amazing having Renee to manage the contractionss. For hours she and my husband physically supported me through contractionss and helped me stay focused and positive. When we finally had to go to the hospital, having someone who knew the way around the hospital was so comforting, as we had hoped for a home birth but things just didn't go as expected.
Renee also really enabled my husband to be present and calm so that he could give me the support I needed. She was so great at giving just the right amount of space and support.
I feel so grateful to have had such a great support team of family, midwives and our doula Renee. It was a long 23 hours of active labor, but the experience was so positive and empowering because I had such an awesome support team.
Get a doula! You won't regret it! Renee was worth her weight in gold!
