My birthing experience was amazing because I had a great supportative team, especially my husband and my doula (MaryBeth). I went into Labor in the morning so, I called MaryBeth to let her know and she greeted me over the phone with such enthusiasm. I had her meet me at the hospital because I was having a fast labor. When I got to the hospital I was already in active labor at 4 centimeters. I went from 4-9 centimeters in about 3hrs. I was able to have such a calm birthing experience up till time of "pushing" because I used HypnoBirthing techniques and worked with my body instead of against it. MaryBeth was very supportative of my decisions of having a natural birth as much as possible. She was by my side the whole time taking care of whatever I asked of her. Anything from getting me water, checking in with the staff, pouring water over my abdomen, massaging my shoulder, and helping me get through difficult parts. When it was time to push it was more difficult for me because my son was posterier. MaryBeth helped me get through that difficult time by encouraging me the whole time. Having that constant support from not only my husband but also my doula, helped me give birth to my son naturally. I felt so empowered after the birth that I wouldn't do it any other way!!! Thank You, MaryBeth!
