Vivian- I did not have the birth that I wanted. Nor did I have the option. But I did have the two best people there for the job. I had my husband (who was the reason I was there in the first place) and I had the best doula you could ask for. She was there for me and helped me fight for my patient's rights. She helped guide my husband and I though this event. I'm safe and healthy now, and I can never repay Alicia for what she's done for my family.
Johnathan- I am not good at this sort of thing. I thought at first that having a doula would be a waste of money. I fought my wife on this for quite a while. After finally agreeing and meeting Alicia, I still had my doubts. However, as the hours progressed in the delivery room I began to see the reason for having someone outside our family there to help us through. The doctor and nurses were horrible and when my wife began having problems and had to be taken out of the room, Alicia was still there for me. She did everything she could before they forced her out. She even stayed until my wife was out of surgery to find out how things had gone. She called, and even came back to visit the next day, just to make sure my wife was ok.
