My husband and I met Christa through our birth preparation class a couple of months before our due date. We hadn't originally planned on having a doula but during the course, decided that we really liked Christa and were excited to learn she had availability around our due date.
Fast forward to our birth; we were so fortunate to have secured Christa as our doula. What was supposed to be a home birth turned into just shy of three days of labour before our baby was born. Christa was there with us every step of the way. Our baby was not in a great position and labour was progressing too slowly, so I was ready to accept that I would be having a C-section. Christa encouraged me to labour in different positions and to stay mobile, which at the last minute helped our baby drop and ultimately led to a vaginal delivery.
I should also mention she was a wonderful support for my husband, helping him help me throughout the whole process. She even caught him when he fainted as I got an epidural!
Although our birth was not as we had planned, it was still an amazing experience and we have a wonderful doula to thank for that.
