I would highly recommend Amy Peterson as a birthing doula.  This was my first pregnancy so I was nervous about the delivery and didn’t know exactly what to expect (even though I took classes).  You just never know how you are going to feel or react to things when the moment comes for labor and delivery.  Knowing Amy was going to be there for me really put my mind at ease and then during labor she was so calming and helpful.  She knew exactly what to do and when to do it – almost like she was reading my mind.  She took the pressure off of my husband and we were both able to enjoy the experience as much as possible.  I honestly could not have been happier with Amy, she was absolutely fantastic.  The most priceless part of what she did for us was to document the days events and took pictures.  I didn’t realize how much that would mean to me until she gave it to us.  You think you will remember everything but you don’t and the pictures are something I will treasure forever.
