I will start out with saying I don't think I would of had such a positive birth experience without Liz!! If we have another child I will be calling Liz and her partner doula right away!
My husband and I decided in the last trimester that we would want to hire doulas. Liz provided us with information to help my body prepare for birth, went over birthing rights and options. She also provided information and choices I had during my checkups during the pregnancy.
My pregnancy and birth were during the pandemic with everything being so uncertain it was wonderful to know we had one for sure thing and that was the help of our doula!
We were able to set up a birth plan and alternatives I was comfortable with. During labor I was able to talk to Sarah and she made suggestion that were very helpful. This also allowed my husband to focus soly of me and my needs.
I honestly did not think I would have so many question postpartum as I did. I can't say enough how helpful and supportive it was to have a doula in those intitial weeks. I also suffered from a prolapse which my obgyn did not provide much info on. I had never known about this health issue and it was helpful to be able to ask someone about this subject other than my provider.
Also when I was suffering from a clog duct Liz helped me use my Hakka and successfully get the clog out.
So if you are question weather or not to hire a doula for your pregnancy and birth you won't regret it!!
