A couple months ago we started researching Doula's. We met with several, and finally chose Camisha to assist us with our birth. There was something about Camisha, she was open, direct, helpful and very informative. She has an amazing energy and we feel her presence the minute she walks in a room.
Camisha helped us with so much during the pregnancy, during a week long preterm labor/bedrest and during the 24 hour birth, we don't even know where to begin. From bringing reading materials concerning the Rhogam shot when all the drs told us to take it, to helping dad remain calm as my fever spiked to over 100, to wandering the hospital halls in an attempt to progress the birth naturally, to holding my hand during a very unwanted c-section, to writing an amazing birth story that we will cherish forever, she was way more that we ever could have hoped for in a Doula. In fact, as we have thought about what to write here, we do not want to write about Camisha our Doula, we now see her as much more.. . a friend. Thanks Camisha, for everything. . .
