A+, 10 out of 10, and all of the stars !
1.) Continuity of care: these days you don't know who will be in the labor room with you, it's whoever is on the schedule. With Enza, that doesn't really matter because she will be with you regardless of delivery staff scheduling. For my prenatal care I met with midwives and was well aware that it could be any one of the midwives in the delivery room with me. Depending on your relationships with each person, you could either be very happy or very upset with who is there for you when you go into labor, but having Enza really erased that for us because I knew no matter who we had with us it would be ok because we had our sweet, calm and wise doula.
2.) Comfort during the final weeks: you're going to have questions at all hours during the final weeks, and you'll want to ask a trusted professional, not the internet. Enza was there to answer all of our questions and give us peace of mind.
3.) Eases stress on your partner: Enza allowed my husband to be totally present with me during labor because she managed the room and spoke to the people coming in and out for us. Without her, my husband would have had to be split between holding my hand and then leaving me to adjust the lights, get me a drink/cold cloth, speak to someone in the room about my needs, etc. Enza handled all of that for us, so it freed my partner up to be totally focused on me.
4.) Creates peaceful birthing atmosphere: Enza made the hospital bathtub feel like a spa with candlelight, calming music and a relaxing scent coming from her oil diffuser.
5.) She knows all of the tricks to make you comfortable: from her knowledge of pressure points to simply brushing the hair from your face, Enza knows how to make you as comfortable as possible during a most uncomfortable time. For the rest of my life, I will be grateful for the birth experience I was able to have because of Enza. Give yourself the gift of a doula.
