We started our pregnancy wondering whether we needed or wanted a doula at all. After our first meeting with Amanda, we absolutely knew that we needed her as our doula. Amanda was well prepared for our first meeting and was able to walk us through everything that she was able to provide to use before, during, and after labor and delivery. Prior to our due date, Amanda helped us develop a thorough birth plan and asked us questions and walked us through scenarios or options that we hadn't even thought about.
Needless to say, our labor and delivery did not go anywhere near as we expected, with everything happening about a month ahead of our due date. We kept Amanda in the loop of everything going on, and when we called at 1230 am, Amanda was there with us within a half hour of us calling. I (the husband) was so relieved to have Amanda there because she knows her stuff. She knew what my wife (and I) needed more than we ourselves knew what we needed. Our labor and delivery went very quick, but we both feel that it went much better with Amanda than it would or could have gone without having Amanda there with us. In the moment, Amanda also was able to ensure that the doctors adequately delayed the cord clamping per our previously discussed birth plan, something that was so far beyond what either my wife or I were thinking about at that time.
We both highly recommend Amanda and we don't anticipate going through any potential future pregnancies without working with Amanda throughout the process.
