Cannot say enough good things about their whole team. As a veterinarian who knew I wanted an epidural, I didn't consider hiring doulas at first. However, after hearing more about their role as birth coaches during childbirth and baby care classes, I asked my OB more about them. My doctor, pre-natal yoga instructor, as well as several friends recommended Complete Doula services. I was pleased that they were happily willing to work with people with all kinds of birth plans - even those of us who are more "conventional." The classes they put on before our baby was born were very helpful - especially the class on how my husband and I could prepare to take care of ourselves (not just our baby) after he was born. When the time came for our son to be born they helped me labor at home until it was time to go to the hospital. They knew the nurses and doctors at my hospital (Lawrence Memorial Hospital) very well and helped us know what to expect throughout the birth process. Personally, my labor progressed slowly and they helped reassure us about the different medical decisions we had to make throughout that process. While I ultimately had a c-section I ended up feeling extremely happy with my birth experience and felt like I knew what was going on, had support for all of my choices, and was able to feel like I and my baby were as safe as possible. My husband was ecstatic about having them there because it also allowed us to have extra support so he could get food, sleep etc. at the hospital as needed while still knowing I had company and was not alone. They even helped us get our car seat set up safely! Again, cannot say enough good things about this group - they are great advocates and teammates through childbirth. read more
