No question my labor experience was improved by having Doula Kari. She protected my space by ensuring lights were lowered, essential oil diffuser was on, and hospital staff voices were low. She ensured I was hydrated by literally holding the drink straw to my lips throughout my labor. She was familiar with the hospital room, knowing were the throw-up bags were and how to quickly request supplies from nurses. She physically supported me by providing counter pressure during surges, and massaging my body when I felt numbness or was cold. Knowing my Doctor was not going to be at my delivery it was comforting knowing I’d have her familiar face at my delivery. I could also tell my husband was more engaged, comfortable, and focused as he used Doula Kari as his guide to better support me throughout the process. Having her to call throughout the pregnancy and especially during labor at home was invaluable because my husband had support to know when to exactly get me in the car to head to the hospital.
