Sarah & Andrew with baby Elijah

I cannot express enough how valuable my doula was. During my pregnancy ‘Doula’ kept me
informed about such things as good food and exercise, stages of pregnancy and things to
help nausea. She answered all my questions and, as a first time mum, got me to think about
things I hadn’t considered. At the birth, she was organised (bringing all the things I either
forgot 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 that
if ‘Doula’ had not been there, I would not have had the birth I had planned. This alone made
her worth her weight in gold!!
