I'm a recent father of a beautiful boy. My wife and I chose to go for an all natural birth, my wife is incredible but I was worried I would not be able to give all of the support she needed during the process, and was worried I'd be able to make the right decision for her and my baby if a stressful situation arose. Given these circumstances we decided it would be best to have a Doula present at birth, and with that we chose Heather.
Heather was extremely helpful, we met several times prior to the big day, during those meetings we covered everything that we were about to go through, potential issues/concerns and options we could take. We developed a very good rapport with Heather in these visits. She is very open and honest to talk to.
When my wife started her contractions, Heather was there on the phone (she would have come in person but we were comfortable enough alone) to help us through the contractions and help us know when the best time to go in was. We gave her notice we were going in and she was right there ready.
The birth experience was hands down the most magical thing that has ever happened. Being a male, it may be easy to be cut out of the process, however this was never the case with Heather (or Pennsy hospital for that matter). She was great, providing support where needed but leaving it for the two of us to sort through, which made it a very touching experience.
In all, I would highly recommend Heather, we had a wonderful experience! I would not change a single thing.
