As a first-time mom, you definitely don't know what to expect in labor, although having Maritza as my Doula definitely make the difference. My experience was incredible and without words, she was the best thing ever happened in my labor. She always encourages me to continue, give me extra support, ask me all the time what I need, if I was doing okay and many other things that a mom need on the special day. Next baby I will for sure contact a Doula service, and If Maritza if available will be her for SURE. She is the best!
