There is not enough to say about having a doula. My experience with Christine Goldman was a refreshing one. I am a VBAC patient and labor, was expected to be like my first labor, before the C-Section, tiring and gruesome and a repeat C-Section. That is why I felt as though a doula would be great, and Chris was just that. Chris will help you with becomming confident and ready for labor. You will understand how to work with your body to get through labor and perform the act of birthing a baby, which is what women were intended to do. My favorite thing about Chris is that she reconnects women with their Creator and with their womanhood. We have a body, and the body is a science. The more that we can understand what the body does and how to go with what it does, we can perform labor. When we have a lack of knowledge, we are not as comfortable because we have fear of the unknown. Chris brings these fears out and helps us face them head on by giving us the knowledge that we need to perform birth. Through exercizes, verbal coaching, physical touch and words of affirmation, Chris helped me bring forth my beautiful baby boy. I recommend her services to anyone I know. Having a C-Section these days is a dime a dozen. When a doula steps into the picture, this chance diminishes highly because we have someone there that we know and trust, whom we have built a relationship with over nine months and they know what we want. They become our own personal nurse and are there every step of the way. My prior C-Section would not have been needed if I had someone there with proper knowledge and coaching to get me through the hard times. Women need all the support they can get during labor and Doulas of CNY is the right place to help bring your baby forth, safely and the way it was intended to be.
