I did a birth prep class with Barb, and it was awesome. I left it feeling so much more empowered. The most impressive part though - she even had my husband interested and engaged! If I lived in the Fort Worth area, I would definitely enlist her to be there for my birth, and I wasn’t even considering having a doula before.
