I'm the daughter of a high-risk OBGYN, and grew up hearing about everything that could go horribly wrong during pregnancy and childbirth as normal dinner table conversation. Needless to say, I was a bit anxious about both. I also knew that I wanted to give birth at a hospital, and that I probably wanted an epidural (perhaps not the traditional doula clientele).
Robynne was great in both the lead up to the birth talking through preferences, support techniques, etc., and was immensely helpful while I was laboring. I'd describe her as a very supportive and calming cheerleader when you're in the worst pain of your life. My husband learned the counter pressure techniques for contraction pain, but I doubt there are many people on earth better at those than Robynne.
Before her partner took over at the hospital, it was clear that the hospital staff knew and respected Robynne, and she checked in with us afterwards.
I'd definitely recommend Robynne and Birth Learning!
