Shortly after I found out I was pregnant, I knew that I was interested in a natural birth. I knew to be able to accomplish this goal, that preparation and mindset we're going to be a huge part of my success, which is why finding a doula became a top priority. After one phone call with Haley, my husband and I knew that she was the perfect extension of us. She was warm, kind, and funny and we knew her presence was what we needed during my pregnancy but also at the hospital with us. We also found comfort with her experience as a registered nurse, she helped us interpret any hospital or medical lingo we came across this entire pregnancy. She was there for me and all of my questions throughout my entire pregnancy, but during the last trimester when things got harder and more uncomfortable, Haley was never an alarmist. After all of our check-ins, she made sure to tell me what an amazing job I was doing and that everything is going just as planned. When I went into labor, Haley was calm, cool, and collected. Her presence truly let my husband and I focus on each other and not have to worry about other things like when to go to the hospital, calling the midwives, and wondering what to do next. She was our guide. She was in lockstep with our midwifery team at the hospital, I felt so cared for while listening to her guiding voice throughout active labor. A week after our daughter was born we spent some time in the NICU. Haley checked in on us, and supported us in our unexpected beginning to my postpartum chapter. Getting a doula was the best decision we made at the beginning of our pregnancy and I'm so glad we had Haley as part of our team.
