We loved the experience with Liz! It was our third and final baby but first experience with a doula. Wish we had done it sooner but then we may not have met Liz!
I was trying very hard to have an unmedicated birth this time and she had a lot of tips and ideas to try to help find a way to that goal. She was so wonderful with answering questions, very calming to have around during labour, non judgemental when I did get the epidural against my plan, and supportive through the pregnancy and aftercare. She was great at laughing at my husband's awful jokes, helping him learn ways to try to help support me through labour or when he couldn't she should until I didn't want to be touched anymore, keeping conversation going when needed and making a calm quiet space when noises and lights were too much as well. When the subject of induction came up due to baby being late she also helped keep me calm as o did not want another induction and told me some ideas that may help bring labour along but they weren't needed, the night I asked I went into labour.
It was such a wonderful experience and I do believe it would not have been as calm or supportive without her there. She was such a positive addition to our team, I wish we could do it again!
