Today I attended an amazing birth. My last few births had been tough and left me asking myself if I was really meant to be a birth doula.
The answer is YES.
The look of accomplishment on my mama's face says it all. The gratitude she gave for "getting her through it" and "not letting her get an epidural." She was giving me WAY too much credit. She got herself through it. She did such an amazing job. Breathing through each contraction calmly and letting her body work hard for her. She made it look easy. And as for not letting her get an epidural...well I just did what a doula does, offer alternatives, suggestions and distract.
It was a great way to start my maternity leave from doulaing. And it inspired me for my own birth.
Thank you.
