Becky was our Doula for the birth of our first son in November 2021.
At 37 weeks, we had to induce labor, due to risks from onset high blood pressure during late pregnancy. Becky helped us navigate labor and delivery with confidence, even though basically nothing went according to what we planned or envisioned along the way. We wanted a natural birth (no meds, epidural, etc), but induction would prove to be too unnatural for us to continue according to that plan.
Becky was able to answer our questions and help us digest what the doctors were saying. She gave us confidence in our decisions and ability to ask questions. We were also thankful she asked important questions as our plan changed.
After being exhausted from childbirth, learning to breastfeed was a daunting task. Becky jumped in right away and helped me and my baby start that process. I attribute the success I’ve had with breastfeeding my son to Becky working with us in those first few minutes after he was born.
Becky speaks from experience and is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and caring. She took personal interest in each of our journeys and allowed us to feel that we were in a safe space for discussion. I highly recommend having a doula, especially Becky during labor and delivery.
