Sarah is the best! She really takes time to get to know you, listen to your wants and supports you in the way that works best for you. With my first child, I had an epidural but my goal this time was to go without one. We went over ways to help work through contractions and breathing techniques. I called Sarah when my water broke and we decided to labor at home for a few hours before going to the hospital. I was only 3cm and the baby was still high so I was going to wait on telling Sarah to come but she showed up right as I was going to the L&D floor and I'm so glad she did! She knew I wanted to be able to move around so she made sure the nurse knew. She also talked to the nurse to see if I could be off of my IV so moving around was easier. I was allowed as long as I drank and was checked every couple of hours. Things picked up fast from there and the transitioning got rough. She talked me through every contraction when I felt like I couldn't do it anymore. I got to a point that I wanted something to help but not and epidural and she went over my options with me. I went to get checked before receiving anything and it was time to push. It happened so quickly that only 1 nurse was in there but Sarah was ready to assist if needed. Luckily for her, a few more nurses and the midwife made it into the room before the baby got here. She stayed with us for a little bit after and then checked in the next day. My mom wanted to be there but didn't end up making it in time but felt comfortable knowing Sarah was there. My husband wasn't really sold on the idea of a doula but went along with it for me. He has don't nothing but sung her praises and recommends her 100%. I love telling my birth story and my experience and Sarah was a big part of that.
