I can’t say enough positive things about my doula, Kelly. She’s the best!! I trusted her because I knew she would advocate for my birth “wishes” and take that pressure off of my husband. She was the perfect balance of being helpful but not overbearing—always ready with water, suggested positions, hip squeezes, and encouraging words.

But I also really appreciated how she helped my husband when I had complications after birth. I had a postpartum hemorrhage and lost consciousness about 20-30 after birth. When that happened, the medical staff started calling out codes and rushing around putting emergency IVs in and trying to stop the bleeding, and they didn’t have time to stop and tell my husband what was going on. Kelly was able to be there for my husband and explain to him what they were doing.
