I can honestly say that my birth wouldn’t have gone the way I wanted without Stephanie. She is meant to be a doula, and she’s completely devoted to her role. In addition to being a genuine and authentic birth support person, she also provides a wealth of information about all things birth, baby, and nursing. She prepared my partner and me for emergencies with cpr, she taught us how to use a car seat, and she ran through birthing scenarios with us so that we would all be on the same page about my birth plan. Stephanie came to the hospital prepared with anything I’d need for laboring positions, and she helped me find the ones that were the best for me in the various stages of labor. After the baby was born, she stayed with us and helped me with making sure the baby latched well and we were taken care of before they took us to the maternity ward. I felt more equipped and had less fear around birth because Stephane was with us through the entire process.
My birthing experience was better by choosing to include Stephanie. Long before and even after I had my baby, I know Stephanie is available and will be a welcome part of our lives. I’m so grateful that she is part of my birth journey and story!
