This was my first pregnancy and childbirth experience. I wanted to make it pleasant and healthy for myself and my husband. In the sixth month of pregnancy I found a doula.  I decided that I needed a person who is experienced and would support me on my way.  My husband and I were so happy that Lisa was with us before, during and after childbirth.
Now I remember her massages that I needed at that moment for my back and hips. Relaxing yoga classes in our garden. Our conversations on concerns and questions about the birth process. My husband was glad that we had such a support and all this is one person and there is no need to run extra, because after all, it was the quarantine time of 2021.
On my request, she was with me on one of my regular visits to the doctor.  she speaks several languages, which made communication easier.
she was with me throughout the whole time from the beginning of the contractions at home until the birth of my child in the hospital.  she accompanied us and answered the questions of the doctors, at my request, as we discussed everything in advance.
I remember her delicious postpartum soup.  And her words all along the way “you can do it” and they were at the right moments. My husband remembers her support and says that he is happy that we found the doula.

I found Lisa through the Internet on the site "Vlaamse federatie van Doulas”.
I believe that a Doula is an important profession and that in the future it should be paid for by insurance.  And it should be known by people how important it is especially in the first experience of childbirth.
