Adja Massahoro Traore: long, vaginal birth

I was already 34 weeks pregnant when I decided I wanted to hire a doula. I did some research online and found and picked 3 doulas I wanted to interview. Heather was the first one I interviewed. After meeting with her, both my husband and I immediately knew she was the doula we wanted! Before I even went to labor, we were constantly in touch; I called or emailed her when I had questions or needed advice on something. She is very knowledgeable and always provided me with the best answer to my questions. She also called/texted me to check up on me when she didn’t hear from me for a week.
Heather provided me with great support during labor and delivery. She was with us for many, many hours. We labored a few hours at home before going to the hospital together. We did a lot of walking, squatting, birthing ball etc….I did have a very long labor, but overall I very much enjoyed every part of it thanks to a great doula! Without her it would not have been possible! I would hire Heather in a heart bit if I were to do it again!
