[quote=Anonymous]We also recently had Cara as our doula and loved her. She was such a calm, supportive presence during our birth, and she helped us to achieve the positive birth experience that we wanted. I had a pretty fast labor, and she was just wonderful - worked with me to find different positions to labor in, ensured that we got a nurse who was supportive of an unmedicated birth and that our birth plan was read by the nurses, used essential oils to help keep me calm, suggested things my husband could do to support me, etc. She met with us several weeks before our baby's birth and also came over after we got home from the hospital to check on us, and when I went past my due date she talked me through how to approach those extra days and suggested things to try to get labor going. Plus she makes a great prenatal tea and has a lending library of books for her moms-to-be. I delivered at Sibley with DeSouza as my OB and she has a fantastic reputation with them. Can't recommend her highly enough![/quote]
