We loved our time with Becky and felt it was invaluable. We interviewed a few doulas and most appreciated Becky's kind and calming demeanor, her wealth of knowledge, her light personality, and the way she listened to our needs and wants. We hired Becky as both a birth doula and postpartum doula since we don't have family in the area, and COVID rates were really high. Due to COVID, we couldn't have her in the hospital but she came to our house in the middle of the night to help me labor as long as possible at home. My husband really appreciated having her there during the contractions to guide him in his support for me. Once we were admitted to the hospital, she stayed in contact with my husband throughout the labor and helped educate us to make decisions about how to proceed. As people of faith, she was also willing to pray over us which was so appreciated.
Once we were home with our healthy baby girl and my husband had to return to work, Becky worked with our schedule to be there for me and answer the million questions I had, help me find a lactation consultant, change diapers, put together all the baby things, advise on my own postpartum healing, and so much more. Her presence was so comforting and non-judgemental, non-demanding. She permitted me to ASK for her opinion rather than just rush in to giving unrequested advice and opinions. Mothers and mothers-in-law are great, but not many could have the zero expectations, zero assumptions or zero feelings to tip toe around that Becky brought. With Becky, I could just BE. We aren't planning on having another child but if we were, Becky would definitely be invited back! Without a doubt or pause. Every pregnancy and birth is different so I know she could still offer a lot on the 2nd, 3rd or 4th time around!
