I had never heard of a Doula until a midwife at the practice I was going to. Originally I thought I could do it all but shortly realized there were so many aspects of childbirth that I wasn't prepared for. So I went in search of a doula who would get me and help me through the process.
Talking with Kerry was easy. She's up front regarding ideas and choices. She'll provide you what she thinks is the next best step and respects your wishes if you disagree or want to do something else. She helped find out information about progress of various things when I couldn't make heads or tails of what was going on around me. She was positive, helped keep me calm, and provided me a place to focus amidst all of the chaos brewing around me. She provided a perspective I didn't have and helped me craft questions to ask my medical team when I was floundering.
I'm truly greatful for all of her help and support considering I gave birth several weeks ahead of schedule; which I'm sure threw her schedule into chaos. That being said, she handled things beautifully, ensuring she had multiple back-ups in place in case there were more than one of us in labor at the same time. Things worked out and all of her clients obtained her amazing help when we needed it.
