Last week I had the opportunity to attend my first birth as a doula. It was amazing. The mom was a friend of mine and she was so gracious to allow me to attend. She had a natural birth and was so calm through out her labor. It was very impressive to me and I am so grateful she gave me the chance to experience a beautiful peaceful birth.
I was lucky to learn a lot there because she had her mom attend who was awesome at connecting with her daughter and guiding her through the difficult parts of delivery. She was also so willing to let me work together with her and the babies father as part of a wonderful birth team. I admit that I teared up when the baby was born. It is such a sweet moment when the new momma lays eyes on her precious baby for the first time. Wonderful.
