Natalie was the doula who supported us throughout the pregnancy and birth of our first child, Nathan.
We were a ball of nerves given this was our first pregnancy (fear of the unknown) and Lauryn had what we thought was a septum (preliminary diagonsis during our fertility journey) so we had heightened anxiety about complications due to that.
Natalie was supportive and calm throughout the pregnancy. She was always available when we had questions or needed support through WhatsApp. She was supported by Suzanne M. as well who had a wealth of great information to share.
Nathan ended up being breech at our last ultrasound during the pregnancy which meant we would be having a planned c-section. However, they did a confirmatory ultrasound right before they were going to take us back to the operating room and lo and behold, our little stinker flipped and was no longer in breech position. We left the hospital to try and achieve a natural birth which is what Lauryn desired. It was a whirlwind from here of initial elation, going through the induction process, and ultimately not progressing enough after over 24 hours on Pitocin which led to an emergency C-section. The C-section had some complications (hemmorage and some issues with the epidural/spinal), but ultimately turned out okay and Lauryn recovered swiftly and smoothly from here. Nathan had no issues from the get go and has been thriving ever since!
Natalie was so kind, warm, and supportive throughout all of the above. She was there for us every step of the way throughout the induction process and did everything in her power to support us and help us through the process. While we didn't get the outcome we hoped for in a natural birth, it was through no fault of Natalie and I couldn't recommend her enough for anyone wishing to have a doula support them on their birthing journey.
