Testimonial for MyBirth
Sara was my doula for my first child this year. When we originally selected her, we had no idea what was coming our way with this pandemic. When things really started to materialize and I realized this was a part of our lives now, I panicked. When I reached out to Sara, she maintained her calm and she was able to provide her services to me without skipping a beat. Although all the rest of our meetings were now on Zoom, just like my doctors appointments and birthing classes, I didn't feel like I was missing much. I was diligent about doing all the readings she provided so I could ask any questions that came up. The week of my actual labor, I contacted her as frequently as I needed to. The day of, she was able to come to our home and still go to the hospital with us.
I don't know whether it was all the preparing I did based on her recommendations (what to eat, what exercises to do, information on what to expect the day of, etc) but I had the most incredible birth story - beyond what my husband and I could ever imagine. I never thought I could successfully birth a baby without an epidural, almost the entirety of it in my home, and without being completely traumatized by the experience. I thank Sara for being a part of our journey and would definitely recommend her for others that are looking for someone that's easy going and calm throughout the pregnancy and labor.
