Kali's Story~
Ginger was our doula for the birth of our first child, and she did a phenomenal job coaching my mom, husband and me throughout the labor, till after our daughter April was safe, and crying in my arms.
My husband and I were set on trying for a natural childbirth, and were immediately put at even more ease with our decision upon meeting with Ginger. She was thorough in explaining her scope of practice and made sure that our expectations aligned with it. Even though we snagged her at literally T minus like 14 days till expected due date, she made the time to meet up with us on a couple of occasions to go over questions and concerns, how to handle non-ideal scenarios, and to walk us through exercises prior to and movements during labor that would ease my pain. She was extremely organized and gave us a list of things to consider for April’s birth plan, like delayed cord clamping, photographs during labor, lighting, fetal monitoring, etc… things we hadn’t really considered prior to meeting with her.
Due to April’s heartbeat irregularities at our 41 week checkup, we decided that induction by Pitocin was our best option. Ginger knew our wishes for a natural childbirth and expressed empathy for our situation, but supported us in our decision, and was still positive that we could get through the labor without additional drugs.
Everything happened so fast! Ginger was positive and very much an active partner throughout the process. She offered massage, essential oils, and cranial sacral therapy. She recommended positions for me to kneel or sit to help with pain and tasked my mother with things to do. The thing I found I needed most was her coaching me during the strong contractions. Without Ginger’s help here, I think my birth story could’ve gone completely differently, in a bad way! Ginger knew what to do and when throughout my labor and we'll be calling her again once we get news of another arrival.
