I feel blessed to have Stephanie as our doula for our second pregnancy.
I didn't realize how traumatic the birth of my first was until we got pregnant again. Words cannot express how supportive Stephanie was. She always had comforting words to say and was only a phone call or text away anytime we needed her. We came up with our birth plan, I was terrified to have another C-section, and felt confident moving forward. In the last 5 weeks of my pregnancy things spun out of control. Stephanie was there when I found out baby was breach, Stephanie was there when my father died the following week, Stephanie was there for my failed version and was so supportive and gentle during all of this.
Through her knowledge and experience, we ended up with a new doctor right at the end and had a wonderful experience on the hospital. While I still ended up with a C-section because of Stephanie I was able to go through all stages of labor, unmedicated and was able to surrender and accept the C-section. I couldn't feel more blessed to have her on that journey with us and I believe that I would not be in such a mentally healthy place right now if we had not hired her.
