Hiring Mariah and Gina as our birth doulas was the best decision we made. From the moment we hired them, they provided support from basic questions to late night calls about concerning pains. Additionally, the two sessions with Gina and Mariah prior to the birth, as well as the meeting with the lactation consultant, we're extremely helpful in preparing us for what to expect.
I ended up having a lot of back labor and coupling and Gina massaged my back during every single contraction. We ended up having a small emergency situation during the birth and Gina was with me the whole time while my husband was with the baby, calmly explaining what was happening and just providing support. I don't know how I would have handled the situation if it wasn't for her support.
Gina and Mariah have continued to provide postpartum support and a listening ear when needed. It has been so much more helpful than I expected to have this ongoing postpartum support.
