Review #1970

Having Stefany as my doula is one of the best decisions I have ever made. It was my 2nd child...my first labor had been very long, but was fairly easily manageble and the delivery was a breeze. I expected the same the next time around, but the delivery was much more difficult. Stefany stayed in the birthing tub with me for hours and hours, until the water was ice cold and she was blue int he lips. I had no idea, of course, since I was laboring, but I do believe she was practically hypothermic by the time we were finished. I was nervous about having someone other than my husband there for the most intimate of experiences, but now I can't imagine how I did it without her the first time around. My son was born naturally, in the water. He was huge for a person of my stature (9lbs, 2 oz, 14.5" head and chest) and had shoulders that were so large they were about the size of a 6 week old's. Had I not had Stefany's help, and a midwife who was awesome, I would surely have ended up with a different birth outcome. Thanks, Stef!
