I initially questioned the need for a doula during my pregnancy, but as a first-time mom, I quickly found myself overwhelmed trying to navigate my upcoming birth.
Making the decision to hire Renée changed my entire plan and gave me a better outcome than I could have imagined. Renée opened up a world of knowledge; she was flexible, empowering, and caring. She supported me through changing providers late in my pregnancy, flipping a breeched baby, preparing for delivery, breastfeeding challenges, and all of the overwhelm that comes along with this process. Most of all, she supported my husband in ways that allowed him to be present and feel empowered during labor and delivery.
In the hospital, she advocated for me and my husband and did everything she could to help us maintain our birth plan and wishes. She was there when I went into labor, even unexpectedly and at one in the morning, and after the birth of our baby girl.
Without Renée as our doula, I don’t think I would have had the natural birth, easy recovery, and success with breastfeeding that I have had as a first-time mom. I would, and plan to, have a doula for any future pregnancies I may have. Her support has been invaluable!
