I wasn't sure if it was going to be worthwhile to hire a doula because my very supportive husband and I had really "done our homework" in attending a birthing class and reading books about labor. However, we decided to give it a try. We are so glad that we did. I thought that having another birth support person in the room might decrease the specialness of experiencing this with my husband, but it was the opposite. Anna's assistance helped my husband to feel more relaxed and she gave him ideas of ways to help me cope through labor without medication, which was my goal. Anna's expertise and support was also what made the difference between me being able to deliver vaginally without needing an urgent C-section. Our little guy was in a difficult position and after 12 hours of making very little progress in dilation, it really looked like he was going to need some extra help getting out. Anna helped me try some new birthing positions and encouraged me that I could do this. It worked! We are so thrilled with our experience with Anna and highly recommend her!
