My husband and I have utilized The Ohio Doula for two births. As first time parents, their wide knowledge base, resources, and hands on care was instrumental in my first pregnancy for guiding us through this new journey and also thinking through all the important decisions we needed to make. They really are birth guides with a very compassionate human support element. This really became most evident when my first labor and birth was extremely prolonged and included challenges and curveballs we couldn't expect. When all the plans go out the window, you want a seasoned doula who you trust and know by your side. This was integral for me and keeping my stress levels low as we navigated sudden change during our birthing time.
So it was a no-brainer to include The Ohio Doula for our second pregnancy and birth, which happened to coincide with the massive changes and restrictions due to COVID-19. Whatever type of birth and birth environment you're planning, they have a way to support you during this vulnerable time. It's very impressive how they adapted to these challenges while maintaining every aspect of loving and compassionate support throughout pregnancy and birth. I also had a lot of health challenges during my second pregnancy and it meant so much to me to have the emotional support throughout my pregnancy to vent and discuss these challenges with women who truly cared, didn't judge, and respected my experience. Utterly priceless.
For reference, I've had a hospital and homebirth with The Ohio Doula and both experiences were made complete and supported with exceptional care and quality.
