Doula: a trained professional who provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support to a mother before, during and shortly after childbirth to help her achieve the healthiest, most satisfying experience possible.
That’s who this is, my doula, Christina! But that’s just her title.... because she did so much more and is so much more! She guided me from the beginning allowing me to explore and make my own decisions, she gave insight when needed. And then when it was time, she put all of her personal things aside including family and put me first. She stayed up late catering to me in many different ways to allow me to move through my pain. She supported my decisions and advocated on my behalf. She allowed Jeffrey time to rest, she fed me that amazing turkey sandwhich right after delivery and she caught me when i needed help(literally). She’s the only reason i have amazing and beautiful pics and videos of my delivery and my husband cutting the cord. She helped create the euphoric delivery experience I had and I could never thank her enough! Christina, I’ve known for years you’d always be my doula when the time came but you’ll never know how much more you did for us than that. These boys will always know how you became so much more than a CrossFit friend. Thank you! We love you!!!
