First time dad here. Bree was amazing, we had wanted to do a hypnobirth and Bree brought a whole setup to home & hospital - electric candles, light machine, sound machine, etc. it gave the birthing suite such a zen vibe. She was incredibly knowledgeable, and had answers for all our questions during a ~45 hour labor. Plus a few well timed jokes and a great sense of humor. There were times when no nurses or doctors were in the room, something would come up, and Bree would simply explain what it was, what is normal, and if you feel xyz then we should call the nurse. It was great to be in such good hands.
My takeaway was I don't know how women give birth without a doula, at least not first timers. It's already scary & stressful enough, but a doula like Bree can make all the difference, a true team member.
And the best part, she stopped by a week or two after birth and spent a couple hours with us, answered all sorts of random questions & did some firsts with us (nail clippings, home bath, some equipment setup, best practices for sleep/feed schedules, poop positions, etc). 10/10 would recommend.
