What a pleasant surprise to see her post this morning! She helped with the catching of my 2nd child Henry as I learned the meaning of the phrase "precipitous labor." She was such a calm, wonderful presence that morning! Just wanted to add my voice to those who have said hello and thank you to Trish. What a pleasant surprise to see her post this morning!

I would not have made it through my first son's birth without mine. I am especially grateful now for the story she wrote about our experience and the photos that I wasn't sure I wanted. I'm glad Chambanamoms is featuring your great work! Doulas rule! I would not have made it through my first son’s birth without mine.

Especially when you mentioned that you felt equally empowered and awe-filled by both your unexpected cesarean and VBAC. I'm facing an unexpected c-section this Monday. We had every intention of a natural childbirth, well knowing that we'd need to embrace the unexpected - and well, that's just where we've found ourselves. I'm disappointed, but want to embrace the experience. It's different than what I had hoped, but I don't want that to mean that it will be any less amazing and wonderful. You helped me to see that it can be. Thank you! Looking forward to more. Be well, Vanessa Thank you Trish – and I’m not even sure if that’s enough to convey how much your brief introduction moved me.
