We are so thankful that we found Adele to be our doula. Our original motivation for hiring her was because my husband was leaving town for work very close to our due date and we were so worried to not have support if he were to not be able to make it back in time. Thankfully he did not miss the birth and we fully committed to keeping Adele on call for my labour. She was essential in what ended up being a two day prodromal labour followed by a 20 hour hospital labour which ended in c-section. She made our hospital birth so special and calm with mood lighting, support for my husband during tough moments of the labour, massaging me throughout painful contractions, helping me change positions (and from the bathrooom countless times) and much more. After the birth, she supported us at the hospital for two days which allowed us to catch up on much needed sleep. She was so helpful in my first attempts at breastfeeding. She also supported us with postpartum doula visits. I don't know what we would have done without her, her level of service and care is something that I will always cherish for years to come. A labour/birth that many would consider traumatic or "not-to-plan" is actually a peaceful and wonderful experience in my memory bank thanks to Adele.
