From the Partners

“At first, when my wife mentioned that she was interested in hiring a doula for the birth of our son, I was skeptical. It seemed that between myself, the nurses, and the doctors at the hospital, there would be more than enough people at the hospital to provide care for my wife. However, after meeting with Ashley Brittain, I realized that doula’s provide a unique service which complements that provided at the hospital. Ashley stayed by my wife (and my) side during labor (overnight) and helped to provide comfort when I was out of ideas of how to help. She even stayed up while I took a quick nap during a break in labor so that I was awake and supportive during delivery! Should we ever decide to have another child, I will most definitely be hiring Ashley as our birth doula!”

“Initially, I didn’t think we needed a doula and felt like having another person in the delivery room would somehow diminish my contributions (selfish, I know, but true). Then I stuck my hand in a table saw while getting the nursery ready and was no longer in a position to pout. It was the best decision! (The doula, not the table saw thing). Ashley was a great advocate for my wife, was a calming presence for everyone involved, and made sure we had the birth experience we had hoped for. She was so great, we sued her for our second child too. Two fully intact thumbs up!”
