I cannot recommend the Doulas of Central Pennsylvania enough!! My husband and I decided to work with a doula for the birth of our first child because we wanted a more experienced person in the room who was familiar with us and our birth plan. Before giving birth we met with Maria and Julie a couple times to walk through our birth plan. They asked questions that I hadn't considered and were very familiar with Mount Nittany Medical protocols. When thinking about all the things that can happen during birth it was so comforting to know that I would have a person there to ask who has experience and who also was familiar with my wants and needs. On the day of they were so helpful with my questions as I worked through when to go into the hospital and laboring at home. Maria met me at the hospital door and instantly started helping me through contractions. Having a doula walk me and my husband through things was very comforting even though I was a little out of it! Maria helped vocalize our desires when my husband was focused on me and I was focused on birth! Would recommend to anyone and we feel very lucky to have had a doula with us!
