I was absolutley blessed to have Deb not only attend my birth but be there for me in the days following it. I had no idea I needed a doula before I delivered much less what they did. I think I was one of those moms that thought that they could easliy do everything on their own. Deb was my rock throughout labor- her calming voice got me through each contration and cheered me on like she was my biggest fan. I found that I wanted her there over my family because she knew what to say and do when I most needed it.
After I delivered she came to my home and took care of things so that we all could enjoy bonding time as a new family. Besides cooking us dinner and making sure I ate snacks during the day she educated me about all the products out there that could help me with adjusting to breastfeeding and for caring for my newborn. It was like having a best friend that new how to keep me encouraged and feeling like this new mom thing was something I could do.
In the days and weeks it's been since I had my little boy she has been there, checking in with me with true concern. I found Deb invaluable and would recommend her to anyone expecting. I'm already assuming that she'll be with us when we have baby #2! Love you Deb!
