As a third time mom, you might think I've been through this process enough times to not need a doula. In fact, having Ashley present at this birth (virtually, due to COVID) made this birth the first one where I felt calm, in control, and in a good mental space for giving birth. Ashley helped me to have the birth I wanted, without any judgment. I was induced and had an epidural, but I did it on my schedule, even with a bit of a pushy doctor. Ashley's first question (including when giving advice about breastfeeding) was about MY goal, without any indication of what SHE though was better. Ashley helped to give me a voice when I couldn't speak for myself and talked me through some of the harder moments so I could stay present. Having her at this birth was a game changer and if I have any more children, I will absolutely hire Delivered Doulas again!
