We used Oh Baby’s virtual doula services for the birth of my son. My main goal was to have someone available to walk my husband through his support role, knowing from experience that I would be too “in the zone” to communicate to him exactly what I needed.
Mary helped us review and plan for labor ahead of time, and helped provide him with strategies to turn to and to research before the big event. This was beneficial for me, as well - having someone to hash out my fears and worries with surrounding labor was SO helpful, and having a plan B (and C 😝) gave me the peace of mind I had been looking for....!
Mary checked in with me frequently leading up to “Labor Day,” and was available for me to bounce ideas off of when different issues came up. She was available to my husband when I went into labor to touch base and make recommendations/refresh his memory on things I might need.
I figured doula services would be well worth it, but had never actually had one for my own birth before. As it turned out, having Mary’s help was invaluable. I know her help with education, planning, and walking through birth itself contributed to how well things went! I would 100% recommend her to anyone considering doula services.
