Having a doula really appealed to me, I wanted to have someone by my side that could talk me through the experience and provide additional love and support.
The prep meetings with Liz were incredible, to be guided through things like birthing positions and pain management options was so helpful. Liz also reminded me that I have a voice and am in charge of my birth experience, which can be easy to forget when you’re surrounded by doctors and nurses.
Not only did Liz connect with me but also my husband. So many friends have said their husbands felt “in the way and helpless”. She made sure he was included every step of the way. It was important for my husband to be a part of the experience and Liz helped make that happen for us.
We have the most incredible photos from my son’s birth too because of Liz. We will cherish them forever. It was also nice to have someone who knows the hospital and can help you navigate the snack fridge!
It is such a personal decision to invite someone to share in the birth of your child. If we are lucky enough to have a second baby, I can only hope to have Liz by my side again.
Liz is family.
