We loved having Kathleen as our doula! Even having been through a previous delivery, I knew that I wanted another doula. Throughout the pregnancy, Kathleen was a great coach, reminding me of the things I should be doing for a healthy body and baby, and for an easier delivery. She was a great resource when I had questions or concerns or just when I needed a sounding board. After delivery, she's been helpful in reminding me what I should be doing or look out for, and we get to have semi regular check ins when I attend the group meetings.
I probably would have had my baby in the car if I hadn't had Kathleen's guidance! I was so stuck on "laboring at home" and thinking about my first birth experience that I couldn't really tell how badly we needed to get a move on. Kathleen's coaching during labor helped me to take a step back, breathe, and relax for long enough to assess my body. She helped me to stay as calm and relaxed as possible during the labor experience, and I was able to deliver with minimal pain medications.
If we decide to have a third child, I would definitely ask Kathleen to be our doula again, and I would recommend her to anyone wanting an extra resource during their pregnancy and delivery.
