Chana was such an important part of my journey through pregnancy and an incredible support for my birth/postpartum. I was able to text/talk to her whenever I needed another opinion or someone to bounce something off of and she checked in on me quite often. For my birth we did not have much time to labor at home so Chana had to meet us at the hospital at 4 in the morning, she was there as soon as we needed her and her support was everything and more. I needed Chana there with me to help me through my pain in labor more than I think I've ever needed someone, and working with her was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Because my baby decided to come a bit early, of course, the one thing that usually never happens happened, Chana had another birth scheduled the next morning and could only be with me for part of my birth. BUT while that sounds scary and probably has happened less than a handful of times in all the years Chana has been a doula, she had everything planned out in case the unthinkable did happen and I never felt a moment without any support. She recommended an incredible post-partum Doula who ended up coming to the hospital for the other half of my labor and honestly having the both of these incredible women guiding me through this experience probably ended up being the best part! What could have happened with anyone and been a complete nightmare, was actually one of the best parts. Chana was worth everything and more and she made me feel so at ease throughout this entire experience, which was not easy as this was one of the scariest and hardest things I've/most people ever had to do.
Please don't hesitate on having a doula at your birth/post-partum and don't hesitate on that doula being Chana!
