My Birth Plans and Packages

"I can’t recommend Ruth highly enough. She was our doula for the birth of our second child, and her support made all the difference. Our first experience with childbirth was very challenging—my girlfriend endured 24 hours of labor before needing an emergency C-section, which left her feeling traumatized. The thought of going through that again made us both quite apprehensive about having another baby. Thankfully, after discovering we were expecting again, we heard about Ruth and decided to meet with her to explore how a doula could assist us. From the very beginning, Ruth was incredibly attentive and compassionate. She took the time to listen to the challenges we faced during our first birth and understood what we wanted to be different this time around. Together, we created an amazing birth plan, and Ruth was there to support us throughout the entire pregnancy. We had several in-depth discussions with Ruth about the pregnancy, our appointments, and how we could achieve the birth experience that felt right for us. Although we were nervous about the possibility of another difficult birth, Ruth’s constant presence and reassurance helped ease our worries. As the due date approached, we were in regular communication with Ruth. She patiently explained medical terminology that we didn’t fully understand and provided invaluable insights into what the doctors were saying, why they were saying it, and the options available to us. Ruth empowered us to advocate for the birth we had envisioned and made sure my partner felt comfortable and supported throughout the process. She was on call 24/7, offering unwavering support, information, and care. If we decide to have more children, there’s no doubt in our minds that we would want Ruth by our side again.
