Doula Rosie

We weren’t initially considering having a doula but when we spoke to our ob/​gyn about our desire for a natural birth he recommended that we look into it and I’m so glad we did. Rosie was such a special part of our birth experience and now I just can’t imagine it without her.
She met with us in the weeks before to get to know us and to talk about our desires for our birth and techniques we hoped to use during labor and delivery. She was available ²⁴⁄₇ from 37 weeks, kept in touch about my weekly doctor appointments and also sent me links to things she thought I’d be interested in or things that would help me and baby.
She met us at the hospital when we asked her to join us. She was such a calm and confident presence during my labor, offering me and my husband support and reassurance. She was polite and courteous towards the staff when requesting that I come off the continuous monitor and move around.
We were able to have the natural hospital birth that we hoped for and our happy and healthy baby girl arrived beautifully.
Rosie stayed with us to offer help with initiating breastfeeding and then paid us a number of visits at home postpartum to spend time with us, to talk about the birth and to help us in practical ways. She will always have a special place in our hearts and
I am delighted to recommend Rosie as a doula!

Excellent person to assist you with giving birth. Helped me through my second birth and he words of encouragement really helped me get through giving birth the second time after having a c-​section the first.
