TERESA BAILEY
A DOULA IN PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA
My friend had a successful vaginal delivery of her second son, after the cesarean birth of her first son. I helped her find information on her choices. Her second son was born without an epidural or pain medications. She told me that the birth was a very rewarding experience for her. Here she is with both of her boys.

Here’s beautiful Breckin just minutes after she was born.

Isabella Rose was born by cesarean
section. Her mother was attended by me and a midwife. Sometimes
labor doesn't go as planned, but it is a happy event in any case.
Here is beautiful Isabella Rose and
her proud dad. Happy father's day!

Here is a new mother breast feeding her daughter Isabella
Maria about twenty minutes after her birth. Isabella Maria was born in a
midwife center, without any pain medication or medical interventions.
They left the center for home five hours after the birth.
Here is Isabella
Maria being weighed. The midwives didn't even take her for weighing until
several hours after she was born.
