Bethany was such a huge support for me during my second pregnancy and labor! My first labor was an induction and lasted 32 hours so I knew I needed more support the second time around. My second was also an induction but this time only lasted 11 hours and was seriously a dream! I could not have asked for a better labor experience and I truly think Bethany was the reason things went so well. She is very knowledgeable and had great suggestions on positions to help labor progress. She helped me process and navigate my interactions with medical staff and I felt way more secure and in control of my labor experience this time around. Seriously if you're on the fence about getting a doula, Bethany is 100% worth it!
