It's been over a year since Bellwether Doulas supported us through the birth of our son, and on my list of to-dos was to find time to post a review. Life has been hectic, but it was important for us to share our positive experience. My husband and I knew we wanted a doula for our first, and likely only, child. Even though we had done a lot of research, we expected most things we read would probably not be top of mind when going through labor and we wanted someone with experience on our side to help us navigate the unknown. I felt so confident in my support team going into the birth, and Rachelle was a key component of that. During the pregnancy, she helped guide us through a change in provider and helped us feel supported in the lead up to the birth, despite everything happening with covid in 2020.
Rachelle came to our home after I spent a night in labor, helped me through contractions and guided my husband through the preparations to go to the hospital. She supported us through many hours of pushing and then, eventually through the full-consent decision of a c-section. She was in the OR with us and took some beautiful pictures when our son was born. She was with us after to make sure we were all OK and then continued to check in. I couldn't have asked for a better support system as the birth played out differently than I had hoped. The Bellwether team definitely stands out as one of the reasons that I recall my birth experience so positively.
