At first I wasn't sure (and neither was my husband) that I wanted to hire a doula. As I got closer to my due date, I began thinking about it more and more. I was attempting a VBAC and hoping to go with no epidural. I looked into a few doulas and started interviewing...I was 36 weeks! I met with Brighid and she was so warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and was able to make me feel so comfortable. She had a lot of great information to share, had worked at the hospital I was going to be delivering at, and understood my desire to want to go unmedicated. She was very supportive, non judgemental, and had a lot of good research backed information. She has a nice balance of a doula who is an advocate for her client and what they want, but also, being sure that we're safe and listening to recommendations from the care providers. When I went into labor, she was at the hospital just before we arrived and was ready to go. She stayed with me and helped me through contractions. It was great to have her suggest different positions that would feel better, provide counterpressure, get wet washcloths and ice chips. She did so much to support me! I am very grateful that we decided to move forward with getting a doula, speficially Brighid! My husband and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a supportive, knowledgeable, warm, non judgemental, and friendly support person for your labor and delivery!
