Only a few hours after my 3rd birth, I had the chance to go visit the new mommy from my 2nd birth, Mary, her hubby, Tom and their little baby boy, Ben. I was extremely tired but had been excited to see this family so I went. The visit was wonderful. We caught up and also had a long chat about all of our memories of her birth (see Hearth Strength). It was really fun to see the family after they had a few weeks to adjust to their new life. Baby Ben is just adorable and seems like a content little guy.
Mom shared that she had positive memories of her birth, which was music to my ears. As her doula, it was nice to hear her speak of her birth experience in this way. We definitely bonded before her birth, but even more so during and after. I was so lucky to work with such a great couple who I hope to keep in touch with for many years to come.
