It was extremely valuable having Joann at my daughter's birth. She always made sure I was informed with what was happening and made sure I knew what was optional. The hospital wanted to continue upping my pitocin but she helped me refuse the unnecessary increases as it was becoming unbearably painful. I would not have known that was even an option if it wasnt for her. She also made sure they communicated when they were increasing the dosage which they would not have done unless she had asked. There's so much that goes on in the birthing room that's all completely new to someone giving birth for the first time, having a doula with us was game changing. My husband also found it extremely helpful as Joann would tell him how to best support me in an otherwise overwhelming experience.
