I was introduced to Doula View by a friend while taking water aerobics less than halfway through my…read morepregnancy. My first pregnancy had resulted in a stillbirth & I was more than a little anxious about this experience. I wanted someone in the room who wasn't as clueless as I was who know their way around the medical lingo. I found all of this and more! We had a few meetings set up prior to delivery. We went over the goals, discussed my health concerns so she would be aware, she met my husband & we got on the same page regarding what my medical professionals were telling me. My situation was unique in that I was to be induced at 37 weeks, so it seemed to be more of a scheduling situation than anything. BUT, baby decided that she calls shots, I went into labor that day. She was so helpful throughout the delivery, keeping me calm, there as we pushed & assisted in the breastfeeding. After I got home & was CLUELESS, she even came to the house & walked me through it. A billion times more helpful than the hospital Lactation consultant. Highly recommend this service for a personal experience for one of the most important times of your life!

She gave me a list of doulas to reach out to and once I spoke with Kayla and Skyla, I felt that I would do myself a great disservice if I didn't go with them. They were available to answer all of my questions at anytime I would reach out and I always left the conversation feeling more educated. Even though I couldn't have my water birth due to Covid, they were still sure to keep me feeling at ease with going through the natural birth process. Skyla accompanied me in my birth and she was an absolutely wonderful support person. I know I probably hurt her ears with my screaming but she continued to help me push through the pain. I definitely recommend their services and will use them again in the future!

My toddler went to her immediately and loved hanging out with her. While I was laboring she tidied up my kitchen so everything was clean for the next day for my husband. She supervised my little one while he came in to see me, and took him to another room when things got intense. He even let her put him down for a nap which I was super surprised by! My husband was able to focus on me the entire time without having to worry about the little. My labor was fast and intense so I was really thankful he was there for support. I would definitely recommend having a sibling doula from labor of love at your home birth, or if you need someone to be with your kids while you're at the hospital.
