I cannot recommend Sara highly enough. I already knew her from her work as a lactation counselor with my first child, so when my planned doula had a family emergency the day before my due date and Sara was her backup, I knew I was in good hands. As my due date came and went, Sara was with me every step of the way to help navigate the mental challenge of being overdue as well as managing pressure from my OB to schedule an induction. When I finally went into labor and it became clear that I was facing (my second) labor with an OP baby, Sara calmly and compassionately guided me through the long, agonizing hours of laboring at home. When the time was right, Sara came to my house and helped me and my husband do some really heavy labor at home and then make the decision to go to the hospital. Once at the hospital she worked hand-in-glove with the hospitalist midwife to support me through an unmedicated birth of my 9.5lb baby. Her job didn't end there, though - she made sure I was comfortable in the golden hour and made sure my baby had a good latch. She talked to the nurses to get me a special, life-affirming drink at the late hour in the hospital and made sure we had food coming our way before we went up to our room. Sara's support has continued postpartum, and I am so glad that she will forever be my baby's doula.
