She is truly all things you hope for when hiring a doula. After our first meeting, I knew she was professional, reliable, on my team and truly understood how important this birth for a VBAC was to me. When she left our home I just KNEW she was it, feeling over the moon supported and heard. She definitely lessened pains of pregnancy and labor- let's get that right, and made me feel safe the whole way through. In the months leading up to delivery, she met us three times actually in our home & I felt incredibly prepared, supported, excited and proud to have her. We were never rushed.
Day of delivery, she stayed in touch with me about every 30 minutes after calling her that my water broke and when I asked her to show up to our home, she was there promptly. She was respectful of my husbands role desiring to support me while also making suggestions and timing contractions etc. She never forgot to keep me hydrated, brought my oils out and assisted with pressure points, guided imagery at times and asked questions along the way. Thinking back, there was zero fear in birth- just like they say. I believe it is because of our meetings building me up and her affirming, calm presence. She was non intrusive too. I like that she wasn't in our way or overbearing at all. We made our own decisions and I was feeling in control of my body. I never went against myself or felt obligated to do anything. I never once felt her attention to my birth lacking. As a great doula should be, she was intuitively on my wave length, kind and supportive.
It was all worth it and I could not have done all of it as smoothly, confidently and in my own power without her help from the very first meeting building me up for the big day. Thank you SO much Doula Rebecca. We are still beaming over that day & the whole experience. ??Hearts are full and proud. Highly recommend ??
