Patty was sent as our backup doula when our doula couldn’t attend. This was my first pregnancy, and I didn’t really know what to expect out of a doula. I was assured that Patty would be wonderful, but I don’t know if that is even a grand enough word for what Patty did for me the day my son was born. She truly came in and saved the day! She arrived at the hospital within a half hour after my husband texted her that he believed I needed her after my water broke. She immediately went to work helping me with my breathing, coaching my husband along, and getting me into a more comfortable position. I went on to push for 3 hours in which Patty didn’t leave my side. Her knowledge is incredible and yet she never over stepped her boundaries and replaced my husband, but instead equipped us which allowed us to share the moment together. I can go on and on about how much she helped me achieve my plan for a natural birth in the hospital. I can honestly say we couldn’t have done it without her. It’s absolutely amazing to me how I went from never meeting her to having a close bond, knowing that she helped me in one of my greatest times of need. I’ll forever be grateful for her help.
