Birth After Loss in Royal Berkshire Hospital, Reading

“I started looking for a Birth Doula during a very anxious pregnancy. Me and my partner had previously experienced the loss of two babies. Once we had assurance from our medical team that our third baby was healthy, we started to look at birth options. With our history of birth trauma, a Doula was an appealing idea. I found Cara online and after meeting her, felt that she was the right person for us. She was open to all birth options and understanding of our concerns. She was wonderful in helping us to remember our babies and our birth experiences with them, alongside preparing to birth our first living child. This was invaluable as we didn’t feel confident going into group birthing classes with our history and preferred learning from Cara in a private setting. Having her at the end of the phone for any questions we had was really reassuring. We are so grateful to have had Cara with us, supporting us during the birth of our double rainbow baby. I went into labour naturally, spent some time in labour in the maternity delivery suite, before deciding on a surgical belly birth. Cara helped empower me to have the birth I wanted, based on what was happening in the moment. She made sure the spaces were relaxing and organised and provided physical and emotional support throughout. My partner felt more relaxed having her there to look after both of us and appreciated her instinct, knowledge and experience. Having that level of consistent care made a huge difference to our birth experience. I highly recommend Cara.”
