Amelia was such an advocate and a vital part of my daughter's birth story. Not just her birth, but the entire pregnancy. Amelia checked in with me throughout each week of pregnancy, but doula support was so appreciated specifically at the end of my pregnancy when we discovered my daughter had turned breech at 36 weeks. My husband and I went frantic, trying to turn her and doing everything within our control to change the outcome. Amelia was supportive of whatever we decided, but elated when we decided to cancel our scheduled c-section and have a natural home birth supported by a breech-trained midwife. My birth team wouldn't have been the same without Amelia's presence. She rarely left the room I was in, but if she did, she was found playing games with my 3 boys, taking pictures that I'll cherish forever, or supporting the midwifery team. My birth experience was long, intense, and hard; but better than I could have ever imagined. Amelia made me feel safe, supported, and ultimately helped me bring my daughter earth side. I will be forever grateful for the people who helped me when the odds were stacked against me being VBAC & Breech. God is good, providing me with someone like Amelia to be a part of this!
