“Before I was pregnant, I was always intrigued by the idea of a natural birth. I admired the strength of women who had done it, though I never knew if I would be one of them. After a whirlwind pregnancy, I learned that it would be my only option—an epidural wasn’t possible for me. That’s when I knew I needed a doula.
A few hours after welcoming our son into the world, my husband said it best: “Olivia is a part of our family now.”
Birth was both terrifying and magical all at once.
Olivia made the weeks leading up to labor—and the entire birthing process—feel safer and calmer. What will stay with me forever is her encouragement. Through a brutal 40+ hour labor, it was what truly kept me going. She prayed over us multiple times, gave me the tough encouragement I had asked for, and never once let me quit. I know with complete certainty that those days would not have been the same without her.
I owe so much to laboring naturally. Feeling my body bring our son into the world was the most magical experience of my life. I have never felt closer to the Lord than I did during pregnancy and in those first moments meeting our son. It changed me forever—teaching me that I am capable of more than I ever imagined, and that the Lord is always in control. That experience has made me a better person.”
A sweet testimony💛
