Hiring Sha'Kaela for the birth of our first born was the best decision I made for my pregnancy! She provided me service above and beyond what I could expect, being by my side every step of the way. My birth plan didn't go as expected, and there were a lot of opinions/suggestions from doctors and nurses thrown my way. Sha'Kaela was there to help explain each option and navigate the communication with the doctors and nurses alongside me and my husband. Her calm demeanor and personality fit great with my high strung, nervous and admittingly control freak personality. She was able to keep me calm and suggest the different labor positions as I got closer to giving birth, which kept me comfortable and gave me confidence. Word of advice to those giving birth in a hospital, nurses have other patients and doctors only come in for the birth. You need someone by your side! I don't want to scare you with how long my birth took, but Sha'Kaela was there with me the entire time and even came back the next day to check on me, which was so unexpected!
If you are thinking about getting a doula, I would highly recommend Sha'Kaela. I told her if I ever got pregnant again, I would call her immediately.
If fact, Sha'Kaela...if you're reading this, ready to do it again? Hopefully you don't have plans for New Years, I'm due December 31st! Looking forward to seeing you again for baby #2!
