HIRE SARAH! My husband and I both agree that she was the best money spent throughout our pregnancy and L&D. She is so kind, extremely competent, confident, encouraging, is good humored and an all around wonderful person!
Throughout my pregnancy, she provided advice, guidance, encouragement and wonderful resources (I needed a PFPT and she recommended a great practice that I'm still even seeing in my postpartum). Leading up to our L&D, she gave us personalized classes to teach & prepare us for labor and delivery. My husband and I have pretty different personalities and she was able to relate so well to both of us - incredible! With her assistance, she helped my husband and I have the L&D experience we wanted!! I wanted to see how far I could push myself without the epidural, and with her constant encouragement and ability to keep me present, I was able to have an unmedicated birth (I had back labor for pretty much most of my labor and she helped me through all of that!). I also love how she was so amazing at helping my husband be the best birthing partner - she wasn't trying to be birth partner number 1 in the room, she was always finding ways to help my husband be that for me and that made it all the more special of an experience for me. I could go on and on about how great of a doula she is, but I suggest you give her a call and find out for yourself - she won't disappoint!
...and if she offers to take some photos and videos of your L&D, I suggest you accept; I absolutely LOVE looking back at them!
