Sarah & Andrew with baby Elijah

I cannot express enough how valuable my doula was. During my pregnancy ‘Doula’ kept meinformed about such things as good food and exercise, stages of pregnancy and things tohelp nausea. She answered all my questions and, as a first time mum, got me to think aboutthings I hadn’t considered. At the birth, she was organised (bringing all the things I eitherforgot or hadn’t thought about!), calming and a source of strength. She kept me focused,relaxed about the unknown process and very importantly – hydrated! I can honestly say thatif ‘Doula’ had not been there, I would not have had the birth I had planned. This alone madeher worth her weight in gold!!Sarah Q
