Back-it-up!

I learned first-hand how important it is to have a back-up doula. I had three clients in the month of July and all of the them were due 5-10 days a part. I thought it was possible that I would need a back-up doula, but thought it was unlikely. Low and behold, two clients went into labor about 3 hours apart. I couldn't believe it! Thankfully, my back-up doula, Elizabeth, was able to cover. While I attended a 36 hour labor she attended another 36 hour labor. It was epic, but we couldn't have done it without each other. I hope that one day I can be there for her too!
