Working with Danielle as our doula was the best choice we made when it came to the birth of our second son! We definitely couldn't have had the wonderful birth experience we did without her!!
I was excited for Danielle to be our doula from the beginning. She helped in lots of ways during my early pregnancy, sharing recommendations, guidance and support.
Then I got some curveballs in late pregnancy...and I was even MORE grateful for Danielle! I found out I needed to be induced at 37 weeks, and I was initially so discouraged, thinking my birth preferences were out the window. I called Danielle, literally in tears, and she encouraged me, reminded me we'd still have options, and gave me some tangible action steps to start preparing.
When we got to the hospital, my husband and I were in regular communications with Danielle, and she helped us through several decisions. Then when I was laboring and needed support, Danielle came right away.
Once Danielle arrived, it was only 4.5 hours until we met our baby boy! Danielle helped things move along positively, helping me through lots of different labor positions and offering motivation and support the whole time. Despite being induced, I delivered without pain meds and had the birth I had dreamed of! Can't thank Danielle enough!!!
