When I got pregnant for the second time, I knew I wanted a doula to help me through the process, and especially through birth. My first experience wasn't terrible, but it was not the best. I met Cristina through doula match and as soon as I talked to her I knew she was the right fit for me. Was I right? ABSOLUTELY!
Cristina is an amazing doula! What I love about her was how she helped me make informed decisions, without being pushy. Every time I had a question about a recommendation from my doctor, she helped me understand the problem and sent me links and data about how to approach the situation. She never criticized my doctor (whom I like a lot too), or said "well, that's not right". She just gave me tools to help me make the best decision for myself.
When I had to be induced, her help and knowledge made induction way better than I could have imagined.
When birth came, I was not able to accomplish all the goals I had, but some other parts were even better than I thought. Cristina was by my side, respecting all my decisions, and making me feel supported and strong. My delivery went as perfect as it did, BECAUSE OF HER! And for that I will always be grateful.
I am not planning on having more kids, but if I were, Cristina would have been there again. I wish I had met her in my first childbirth... maybe I would have gotten pregnant sooner :D
Thank you Cristina, for making me feel like a bad*ss! I hope you keep helping mothers like you did with me!
BTW, get pictures and video! That's one of my favorite parts about having her there. I look at them all the time, and remember that moment with love.
