Aubrey Anne Friedly was our first Doula, and she was great. It was my wife & I’s second child, and we wanted to go natural this time. I can honestly say this time around was a lot less traumatic, than the drug induced labor of the first child. For all who do not know, a doula is a «birth coach» present at birth. All of the information taught at a child birth class is carried out and available through a doula-relaxation techniques, breathing exercises, birthing positions; communication between the doctor and patient and/or family-a doula is a hand to hold or squeeze throughout labor and the extra support that a birthing mom may need. We found that support invaluable.
