I cannot recommend Michele and District Doulas enough. We chose them because of their collective model and educational classes, both of which we're really valuable. Michele's 1:1 support was also phenomenal. We had a lot of things up in the air for much of pregnancy (placenta previa, which did resolve, suspected large-gestational age, transverse position) and she was always willing to hop on a call and talk through options, suggest resources, and help us process and come up with a plan.
We had an emergency c-section at 37 weeks, which wasn't in our plan, but all of the prep work I'd done with Michele on mentally preparing for birth, whatever that was going to look like, and thinking through my preferences still paid off and kept me calm throughout. Michele was able to join us in the hospital right after delivery and was a great resource in supporting feeding during the golden-hour and understanding everything that was happening medically as we were transitioning to the post-partum ward. Will definitely be coming back to District Doulas and Michele for any subsequent pregnancies and birth!
