This was the birth of my second child. I made a huge mistake not having a doula the first time around. What a difference! I felt so much more relaxed just knowing she was there to hep me. I only wished I had called her sooner to come when I was laboring at home, but I wasn't sure if I was really in labor yet. I was texting her the whole time though and she was giving me helpful advice on how to deal with the pain.
She really helped so much with the pain in the hospital. She had me on the birthing ball and she was applying counter pressue. I still chose to get an epidural, but those three contractions I had to endure without her in the room were the worst. Even after I got the epidural, she worked hard to get me as comfortabe as possible so I could rest.
I would highly reccommend Maria, she was awesome.
