Testimonial for Laurie Levy
Right off the bat we recognized how qualified Laurie was with years of training and experience. Laurie is a fantastic, caring doula and all about helping women through the scary process before, during and after labor and delivery. Being a doula is not a hobby for Laurie, it is her passion and she does it with such love and care.
During our first meeting with Laurie, she wanted to find out more about us to help make my birth experience the best possible. We never had our second meeting because... surprise! I had to be induced and our baby girl came 2.5 weeks early! I was in such shock when I found out I had to be induced. I was in tears and I called Laurie right away. She met me at the hospital even though I wasn't even in labor yet. She helped assess the situation, calmed my fears, and reassured me that everything was going to be ok. Laurie stayed with me through my early labor pains and provided wonderful relief through various tools. My labor and delivery was quick after they broke my water, and it was a scary, and traumatic experience for me. But Laurie was by my side the whole time, and I remember Laurie's voice, reassuring and calm, encouraging me, guiding me on what to do, how to breathe, etc.
After I gave birth, Laurie continued to check up on us. She came and met us at our house about 5 days after we got out the hospital. Laurie identifed that our baby girl looked a little jaundice, so we went to see the pediatrician that afternoon. Sure enough, our baby girl was severly dehydrated and jaundiced and had to be admitted to the NICU for 4 days. When asked by the hospital staff how we knew to bring our baby girl in, we told them our doula, Laurie, had gently pushed us to come in. I believe that had we waited another day, our baby girl would have been in a much worse situation. We are so thankful for Laurie's keen eye and care for our baby daughter! She is truly an awesome doula!
