Cari was the unexpected MVP of my labor and delivery. I had initially hired a different doula on Cari's team, but they were very up front about the possibility of a backup and had me interview and get to know Cari just in case. They were the only doula team I interviewed who did this. It was a big part of why I decided to hire them. When it came time for labor it turned out that my initially hired doula had just come off of supporting a 48 hour labor at another hospital. Rather than pull a double she called in Cari so I would have someone fresh. This was great as my labor also ended up being a complicated 48 hour affair. Cari was with me the whole time while I labored at home and then through more stalled labor at the hospital and my eventual complicated delivery. She was a rock star – took wonderful photos, was able to anticipate my needs and provide me all these little comforts that made all the difference, and most importantly was a calm, reassuring voice guiding me through what was happening and what I needed to do.
I wanted birth to be something I did, not something that happened to me. And despite many complications and deviations from the plan Cari was the reason that happened. I felt supported and cared for instead of disoriented and confused. I couldn't recommend her more highly.
