Lauren is such an awesome doula with a very kind soul. My first labor was rough and i didn’t have much of a voice so having someone like her by my side this time meant a lot. We actually met in person for the first time while I was already in labor, but she instantly felt easy to be around.
There were moments when I was deep in contractions and not really thinking about what questions to ask, and she gently reminded me to check in with myself and make sure I was comfortable with what the staff was doing. That support made a big difference.
My labor was long, and she stayed right there with me. She encouraged me, held me,helped me relax, used essential oils, and just kept the whole vibe peaceful. She made sure I had a voice and that my birth was how I hope it would be! I was even able to have my husband catch the baby! Afterward, she came for postpartum visits, held the baby so we could get things done, showed me helpful exercises, and answered every random question I had no matter the time. She can also make a very good guacamole!
I’m extremely thankful for everything she did for us and for giving me a voice in my most vulnerable moments.
