When I got pregnant a friend of mine suggested I should get a doula- I honestly didn't know what that even was. After our initial meeting with Ashley, she barely made it out the front door when my husband said, \"we need her\". I ended up being past my due date and Ashley was great with supporting me daily and making suggestions on things I could do. When I finally made the decision to go for induction at 41w, she helped me understand how it would work. 18 hours into induction when I lost my ability to cope with the pain, Ashley appeared like an angel and helped me with breathing through for as long as I could. And when I just couldn't anymore, she fully supported and helped me through the epidural. Moms know the end of labor is a bit of a blur, but I just focused on her voice and after 32 hours my little miracle appeared. Ashley is amazing, I really don't think I could have done it without her."^^ . . "5"^^ . "0"^^ . "0"^^ .
