Testimonial for Emerald Doulas
We had a fabulous experience with Emerald Doulas. We lived in a different state for our first birth and didn't have a doula at all (this was also during the height of the pandemic). Then we moved to North Carolina and had a doula for our second birth. We absolutely wish we had Emerald Doulas for the first birth. It would have made such a hard experience sooooo much better. I decided to hire a doula toward the end of my pregnancy because things got complicated (breech presentation). They were wonderful at helping me walk through how things kept changing week to week. Then when I was past due and on an elective induction waiting list and dealing with prodromal labor for a month, they were right there with me every step of the (very difficult) way. I can't imagine going through all that without them. My only regret is that I didn't sign up at the beginning of my pregnancy because I could have taken advantage of all their community classes and groups and support throughout the whole pregnancy. My husband also wishes we had a doula for the first birth. He felt completely alone and without support for our first birth, which was a stark contrast to how he felt supported for our second. The whole experience was much less scary for him because we had an advocate with us who knew what they were doing and could help us through each decision along the way. If you're on the fence, go and sign up today. You will only regret waiting too long to do it. It is worth every single penny and then some.
