Testimonial for Lacey Martin
I am so grateful we hired Lacey to walk with us through the journey of our pregnancy & birth. I cannot express how different the experience was having Lacey there vs. the first our first baby, not having a doula present. She was a point of contact throughout my pregnancy, and was available to talk leading up to my birth.
When labor began, she came over and supported me and my husband with comfort measures, bringing us water continually, offering ideas for birth positions to help labor progress, offering physical support in many forms. While we had planned to birth at the birth center, our plans changed at the end of pregnancy with the onset of some risks. I was so grateful that I got to keep my birth partner (Lacey) the same, while I navigated having to change my plans at the last minute. She knew when it was a good time to head to the hospital so that my husband and I didn't have to pay any attention to time & could be totally present with breathing through contractions.
When we arrived at the hospital, she helped us to communicate & reiterate our desires/ birth plan to the staff since it was our first time meeting the nurse and midwife there. When we got into our room, she helped make it a beautiful and calm space by setting up twinkle lights and helping get my speaker set up with my playlist. When either me or my husband needed something, she was right there with it (& very intuitive in knowing ahead of time what we might need). She helped get me into my desired birth position and took really beautiful photos throughout my labor and birth too.
After my daughter was born, she hung out with us during the first couple hours. She even moved our car and went and picked up food for us! We were awestruck at how above and beyond she went (totally exceeded expectations).
If you're on the fence on hiring a doula-- here's your sign! Hire Lacey. She's the best. :)
