Testimonial for Lindsey Vick
I found Lindsey through a google search and took her hypnobirthing class. We got to know her well so we hired her as our doula. For our doula I wanted someone that felt like a friend that I could be honest and direct with. Someone gentle and kind but without sugarcoating anything. That's exactly how Lindsey was! She was great about keeping in touch during my pregnancy. I liked that I could text her with questions. I even texted her photos of what I thought was my bloody show or leaking fluid. She would respond right away and give me advice. When I was laboring at home, she was great about suggesting comfortable positions, getting things for me, and also leaving me alone if I was in too much pain to talk. I liked that she talked to my husband a lot and gave him the support that he needed. Also, she straightened up my bedroom! It was nice coming home to a clean room. She was great at the hospital. Sometimes a nurse would ask me a confusing question and I'd look over at Lindsey and she would put into layman's terms what they were asking so that I could make a more informed decision. She'd give me her opinion, but wouldn't try to sway me one way or the other. I liked having her there to tell me how she has seen things done at other births/hospitals. I had a pretty straightforward vaginal birth: no epidural, no Pitocin, no interventions. I did a LOT of pushing, which Lindsey was a big help with. There were times when I didn't think I could go on, but my husband and Lindsey helped me through. As we got closer to the baby crowning, my husband held my left leg and Lindsey had my right leg. After birth, she explained what was happening, tests, etc. She literally fed me a protein bar while I relaxed. I honestly don't think I could have had an unmedicated birth without the help of Lindsey and hypnobirthing. At first my husband objected to spending money for a doula, but in the end he was glad we did. She helped me have a really positive birth experience.
