Emily was my doula for my first baby and I recommend her highly! She is super knowledgeable and calm. She helped me prepare for birth, which was comforting, and she’s definitely a person you want with you in the delivery room. Delivery nurses and midwives/doctors will be in and out the whole time and she seemed like a personal nurse who stayed with me. She had a good sense of when the midwife should up the ante with my induction, and gave me lots of great massages that helped me through contractions. I credit her with my induction not lasting for days. She also helped my husband help me throughout the process. It's worth mentioning that while I had a really good experience, it would have been especially important to have Emily present if anything had gone awry.
Emily also helped me with breastfeeding immediately after my baby was born, and then provided good adjustments at consult at my house a few days later. I feel very lucky to have worked with her and hope I have the chance to do so again in the future.
