I considered having Ayesha has my personal doula. She had experienced childbirth herself and genuinely loves this practice. However, during the interview process I was met with judgment about wanting a home birth. I was told “I wasn’t prioritizing my baby” and that the outcome of my natural delivery would be a “loose vagina that would ruin my sex life”. I came for advice and I was met with judgment and negativity about my labor process. I would not recommend at all!! Provider response: Hi, I’m sorry for the misunderstanding. I wasn’t trying to be negative or judgmental. I was trying to be informative of the side effects of a vaginal birth that are often not discussed with providers but rather with close friends. I was only giving advice as a friend and a mom who has experienced childbirth twice. I also do not assist with home births.
