It was one of the best decisions my husband and I had ever made to have Britney as our birth doula. Britney impressed us since our first consultation session online. She answered all questions with knowledge and care. Britney emailed me helpful information prior to my delivery. She visited us at home and had a thourough discussion about my birth plan. I called her at 3am when my contraction started, and she gave me advice over the phone every few hours until I was admitted by hospital 32 hours later(first pregnancy, cervix opened slowly). Once I was admitted by hospital, she came in at once(triage room only allowed 2 people so she couldn't come earlier). She helped me stick to my birth plan, and I was able to say no when a resident doctor wanted to observe my labor process and two nurses wanted to give me a cervix check twice for learning purpose. She also helped me go though contractions by adjusting my positions and massage. Britney noticed details that made a difference in labor. When I finally decided to have epidural, she set me up and removed a cloth underneath my left leg to make sure I sit evenly. My epidual worked really well, and Britney helped me changing positions thoughout the contraction and pushing process. With her help, my pushing went smoothly and took 30min. She stayed in hopstial with us for 16 hours until my baby was born and had skin-to-skin with me. After delivery, Britney also supported me tremendously. I was stressed out after coming back home from hospital because of challenges in breastfeeding and relationships. Britney followed up with me and we had a call at night. That call brought back my sanity and helped me prioritize. Britney also said multiple times that she was supporting both my husband and I, and asked my husband to feel free to reach out. Once we were ready for visitors, she visited us at home and wanted to see if there was anything to support. Britney is beyond our expectation, and she is a wonderful birth doula!
