I will never write a whole birth story (( bc of privacy issues)) but I want to document some of the things that impacted me.
I welcomed VBAC DOULA baby girl Wendy on 4/30/10 at 2:51pm weighing 6lb 13oz and 18 1/2in.
Mom was pushing. I placed my hand on her leg, got close to her, and whispered "you can do this".... She opened her eyes and looked right at me. Her eyes widened and she smiled. Almost immediately she went back to pushing- chin to her chest when SHE felt like she needed to. The light was at the end of the tunnel and she was running for it.
The next day, I called her. She said to me: "it was so great having you there bc i knew YOU did it and i COULD DO IT TOO"
THAT is why I became a doula.
