My husband and I welcomed our first baby in March, 2020. Having Sara as our doula was SO
HELPFUL. Seriously people, she is amazing. Leading up to the birth it was so great to have someone to bounce my random questions off of who was so experienced. Her level of experience was also incredible once I was in labor. I had a strange start to labor in that contractions were really close together really soon.
Without Sara's help and guidance, we would have gone to the hospial way to soon. Like HOURS to soon. Our baby was posterior so I was having back labor and my contractions were double peaking as they were trying to turn baby around. Sara gave us some different positions to try to encourage baby to turn and gave us such peace of mind in that first 12 hours that we were doing the right things, that everything was okay, and that we could do this!
Once we got to the hospital, Sara went right to work at setting up our hospital room with twinkly lights, LED candles, a diffuser, making it all feel more cozy and comfortable. She also gives the BEST massages! With all that back labor it was a godsend.
Once baby was born, she filled two peri bottles with special herbal water that was so soothing. She made sure we were settled before leaving us, and checked in with us the following day to help talk through questions around breastfeeding and taking care of baby. When I hired Sara I figured she would be an essential person during our labor and birth but it turned out that she was just as essential a resource during the initial post-partum period while we were getting breastfeeding figured out!
Without her guidance, I'm not sure we would have stuck with it. She was so supportive, reassuring, and informative. I would highly, highly recommend her!!
