My husband being the military we are far away from family and thought we could handle our birth experience on our own. But, the closer to the due date the more concerned I became that we needed the extra support to have a natural childbirth and someone to look after our best interest at the hospital. So, I started looking for a doula and I was so blessed to meet Kerry. She came over to our house to talk with us about our birth plan and right away my husband and I knew that she would fit right in with our family. The day of the birth, 27 Oct 2009, Kerry was there to support us 100%. Eighteen hours of active labor at the hospital and many more hours before that at home my husband welcomed the break to get something to eat while Kerry helped me through contractions. Life happens, we didn't have the natural childbirth we expected but it was such a blessing to have Kerry there to explain the pluses and the minuses of each procedure and in the end a c-section. She looked after everything while they wheeled me away she packed up our room and moved our belongings to the room I would recover in allowing my husband to be with me as long as possible. When I came out she was a welcoming face. Right away helping learn to breast feed my new baby boy. Kerry will always be apart of our family. She has such a gift.
