Like many women, I knew I wanted a vaginal delivery and for my baby to arrive earth-side safe and healthy. It wasn’t until my first OB appointment that I realized there would be many other decisions to make during pregnancy and that I needed much more education and support to accomplish that ultimate goal.
From the moment I met Renée, I knew she was going to be instrumental in my journey as a first-time Mom. She was compassionate, strong, and extremely knowledgeable. She spent a lot of time getting to know my husband and I, and for the remainder of my pregnancy, helped me delve into the birth experience and advocate for myself.
Renée and I remained in contact regularly, and she made herself available to talk through the outcome of every test, OB appointment, etc. so that I could process my subsequent thoughts and emotions in a healthy way.
Although there were some twists and turns during labor, I felt prepared and confident in every decision we made and am grateful to have had Renée by my side.
As soon as the day after my daughter was born, my husband and I agreed we would never give birth without a doula
(hopefully Renee!) present.
Her impact can’t be overstated, and we will forever cherish our first delivery experience.
