I gave birth to my first child two months ago and had a WONDERFUL doula!! Trina Mackie was EXCELLENT!!! I could not have done it without her support and guidance. I had debated whether or not to have a doula--and I am so glad that I did-- and that it was Trina.
I was in labor for 23 hours and Trina was by my side the entire time! My labor started at 10pm. I called Trina and she was at my house within 30 minutes--through the night--through the following day and night at the hospital. She was definitely a calming force. We had great communication and developed a great rhythm. She really read my body signals well and was a tremendous help easing the pain of the contractions.
After a long labor, I ended up having a C-section. Trina continued to be wonderfully supportive and caring throughout the whole procedure. She stayed with me until after my son was born and in the recovery room for several hours. She did not leave the hospital until 3am. She was with me for a total of 28 hours!
Trina helped make the experience so much better. I will always be grateful for her help and support.
I found Trina through a recommendation and she was truly a god send. I highly recommend her.
