Having Sandra as my doula during pregnancy provided me the support I needed. She was able to ease my worries and answer questions for me.
I believe every women can benefit from having a doula during their pregnancy and birth. Sandra arrived at my birth while I was in transition and things were becoming very intense. My partner was able to take a much needed break, after being at my side for more than 5 hours. Her calming presence allowed me to tap into my primal instincts and give me strength during each contraction. As they progressed and we moved to various places in my house she was there, holding my hand or encouraging me. It's amazing what the power of a simple phrase can do. As I was pushing my baby out she kept encouraging me I would see this baby very soon. After all my hard work ( and baby's) there he was perfect in every way.
I think that in any type of birth a women benefits immensly on having this support system. In my experience it allowed me to do what my body needed to do, and trust in the process.-Ange and Jeff
