Ellen assisted me with my 1st child delivery this May. I was a first-time mom, however, had a really fast pace delivery. After I got admitted to the birth center with 3-centimeter dilation, I went fully dilated then finished my delivery within 2 hours. Because of the missing epidural and the fast development of my labor, both I and my husband urgently needed someone to help us figure out the right thing to do at the moment while my labor room was full of busy OBs and nurses for getting the baby's heartbeat. Ellen was so calm and professional to remind me of the breathing technique and the current pain management solution to help with the pain, as well as supporting me with getting an epidural while I was already 7-centimeter. After the anesthesiologist finally came, Ellen held me and count the contraction for me so that I could hold my back still when needed to get my epidural. With the help of Ellen, my labor went fast and smoothly although we had encountered quite a few trouble. I will absolutely choose Ellen to be my Doula if I'm going to have my second child.
