I believe that women deserve to feel comfortable during labor. I have always regretted not having a doula there for my deliveries. Women have a special bond and we know what the other is feeling and going through.
“Ally made me feel like I could handle it but also when I was crying and screaming I didn’t feel silly because she was right there holding my hand and going through it with me. I am so thankful she was with me. For my next baby I want Ally there again.
