Testimonial for Nicole Lakey
Nicole made the difference! What could have been overwhelming scary birth was a calm supported one. This was my first brith and my goal was to have the most natural birth possible. Nicole was there for prenatal support and postpartum as well as labor. Once contractions started Nicole gave me a guidence and on what to do and when to go to the hospital. Her guidence helped my contractions become stronger and more consistant while laboring at home. Once in the hospital Nicole was fabulous in helping me manage the pain through different movements. Although, the pain did have me considering an epidural, Nicole was a rock and we took it one contraction at time. I think if I did not have Nicole there, my partner and I would have had to have an intervention or two and I probably would have opted for the epidural. I am glad that with Nicole's support I was able to have the birth I wanted. My partner was able to better support me as wellwith her guidence. Between the two of them I felt very supported and had less fear than I thought I would. I have Kaiser insurance that covered Doula support, Nicole handled all billing for us. I highly recommend Nicole as your Doula, she is excellent at preparing you for labor and advocating for you during!
