We hired Martha as a birthing doula, to help us through the labor and delivery of our first child. I feel so lucky that we found Martha, and had her with us during the birth! It was beyond helpful to have someone present in the room who was familiar with the process, and Martha provided really great encouragement and suggestions throughout my 19 hour labor. She kept me very well hydrated, helped me focus on rhythmic breathing, and provided suggestions on positing to help move the labor along. She provided support and encouragement (and caffeine) for my husband as well, which we appreciated. It was so nice to have her calming presence in the room. She also provided fantastic support and information ahead of the birth, to make sure we were as prepared as possible going into it. She was a great source of information, and answered all of our questions. I cannot recommend Martha enough, and am so glad that we found her!
