Ursula came highly recommended to us by a few members of my mom's group who had researched the topic of VBACs and were looking for a good experience of their own. We didn't even do another doula search - after hearing about her two or three times, I automatically called, bonded and decided that we had to have her if at all possible! Not only does she have a deep experience of the birthing process and high risk pregnancies, she has this intuition about what you need as a mom and she knows your limits too. I thought this was incredibly helpful throughout my pregnancy, and I knew she was going to do her darndest to make sure my birth went the way I wanted (an unmedicated VBAC). She also had great relationships with my midwifery practice (former WISDOM) and it helped tremendously that already knew her. When the time came, my birth was smooth and quick and no introductions were needed. Perhaps my Bradley teacher said it best, "Oh, you have Ursula as your doula? You'll have nothing to worry about then...your in great hands."
