Having childbirth with Sarah was my first experience with a doula, even though I already had one child and I had an idea how I wanted the childbirth to be. Sarah met with me and spent good two hours talking about my expectations and my birth plan. She explained things that I did not know or forgot of in great detail and was supportive of my decision to attempt for the natural childbirth. She followed up with me during the last two weeks and helping with any questions I had. When the time has come, she came to the hospital at 3 in the morning on a short notice, and was there until my second boy was born.
Sarah has been very calming, supportive and caring during the process, helped relieve the pressure with the massage and the available tools she had. She was very patient, understanding and nurturing. It felt very comfortable and natural having her with me during one of the most uncomfortable processes.
Sarah also supported us post-partum. She helped with anything we needed and anticipated my and baby’s needs. I can’t say enough how fortunate we have been to have Sarah during these times.
