Hiring Scarlett was one of the best decisions I made in the birth process. Why I hired Scarlett and what I ended up getting were very different things. I originally wanted a doula because hearing about the birth culture over the last few years was scary. The threat of a non-medically necessary cesarean was high for me. I wanted someone there who could protect me and my baby. This ended up not really being an issue in Portland and because I chose a midwife for our care. What I did get from Scarlett and did not expect was so much emotional support. I didn't have any friends or family that had recently been through pregnancy. Being able to talk to someone about the very detailed things that were going on with my body was very helpful. Every week of pregnancy is different and it all blurs together for people a few years later. I had a very tough week of early labor contractions and Scarlett was right there for me talking on the phone, texting and coming over to our house. Scarlett has seen so many women through pregnancy, she has a wealth of knowledge or knows a resource of find it for all the challenges. Thank you Scarlett. We would love your support again someday.
