Thank you so much for your kind words as well as letting me be a part of your story. I couldn't help but being a bit disappointed towards the end of reading this testimony. It seems quite unreasonable and unrealistic to expect a human to work over 24 hours as well as without additional compensation. As of now, it is written in my contract that I may leave after 16 hours of continuous labor support with or without a backup, with a backup costing an additional 35$ per hour. I hope this is helpful for you as well as others going forward. As professional doulas we are always learning and growing. Thank you again!
