Although I only have one child and this was my first experience with a doula, this was the best birthing experience. I was nervous about giving birth the moment I found out I was pregnant. From my first contraction to post birth Tinaya was there for me. I told her epidural was my very last resort, and she helped me manage my pain in so many unique ways, up until I couldn't handle it anymore, and even then she was right there holding my hands while getting the epidural. She was truly my advocate when I couldn't speak and made sure my birth plan was executed. As a black woman my biggest fear was not being heard or not understanding what was going on. But with Tinaya, I felt like all I needed to focus on was myself and the baby. But even before giving birth she helped me physically and mentally be prepared for birth.
I wish doulas were more commonly know, and more accessible.
