We decided to hire a birth doula after our first labor and delivery was not as positive of an experience as we wanted. In a way, it felt like the second time around was completely new and Charity helped us navigate everything with fresh eyes. Our goal and ideal delivery was an unmedicated hospital birth and Charity helped make that possible. She listened to our wishes and helped us create a clear understanding of our ideal birth so that we could create a plan for labor. She gave us resources to create our birth plan and resources for exercises to prepare for labor and laboring positions. During our actual labor and delivery, Charity was a calming presence that helped us stay clear headed and positive.
From a husband, or birth partners, perspective, Charity was very easy to work with. She made sure he was comfotable and he was able to suuport me in the way I needed.
Overall, a fantastic second birth experience with the help and support of Charity!
