When it comes to your birth, having the right person or people in your corner is very important. I have home birthed my 6 children. It has been one of the most scary, exhilarating, and exciting times of my life. One thing that I had in common with every one of them, is I had people that supported me at each one. If someone did not support me they were not welcome. Do not be afraid to tell someone no.
Birth is a very sacred moment. To a lot of people, they are so excited and want to have everyone under the sun there, but you should really take time and think about who you want to share that intimate moment with. Someone you trust, someone that will help you make the best decisions that they know are important to you and may be on your birth plan. Someone that will help enforce and voice for you when you can’t, on what you truly desire. When the tough gets going, you need that one person that is going to advocate for you. That one person is a doula.
Doulas in Columbus Ohio, have a very important role in birthing and the process that leads up to it. You are not another number on their charts. You become a friend, a voice to be heard, and person to turn to when you are scared or unsure about something. They are your second body that knows your exact wishes. They want to make sure you are taken care of and your desires and wants are heard. I can not express enough, that when labor starts happening, sometimes you just want to give up and take the “easy” way and listen to everyone else instead of what you dreamt of and what you have visualized your birth being like.
