I initially contacted the Nesting Place to join their infant CPR class which I thought was great! I noticed that they also connected people with Doulas and was searching for a Doula at the same time. I interviewed a Doula from the Nesting Place as well as other recommendations I received from friends. The Doula from the Nesting Place I interviewed, Beth, was a great match with us in our first conversation. I don't know how to explain it, but everyone has their own birth preferences (as Beth calls it) and when you describe some of those preferences to your Doula, you either feel like you two connect over the same things and she gets what you want, or don't. Beth was an automatic fit to me. And The Nesting Place made it clear that if I wanted to speak to others, they could offer me interviews with other Doula's as well. But we loved Beth rigth away and knew she would be perfect for us! Over the next few months, she would always check in on me and ask how I was doing, we'd have regular calls to chat about what I was reading, any questions I had, literally anything that came up for me. She was extremely patient in answering my questions, she made herself available to me and I felt very comfortable talking to her about anything and everything. She even called my hospital to get details on rooms and what they were going to offer me. As I started getting closer to my due date, we talked about inducing, natural ways to induce and my options. Beth was amazing with always telling me what my options were and supporting me in my decision. When I knew it was time to go, Beth made her way to the hospital and supported me and partner on our special day (and 52 hours of labor). She came with my birth preference plan and advocated for me in the hospital as well as reminded me what I wanted when it was hard to remember anything. I'm so happy we had her there and I feel so lucky to have met Beth through TNP.
