Testimonial for Laurie Levy
I didn’t start out my pregnancy thinking I wanted a doula, but hiring Laurie, through Swedish, was the best decision of my pregnancy. I have a physical disability, and Laurie was the only Swediish doula who had relevant experience. My husband and I liked her immediately—she was relatable, easy to talk to, and inspired trust. When my doctor sprang the word induction, Laurie was a wealth of information. She took time to get to know us and because of her I walked into induction nervous but confident that I understood what could happen. I agreed to many things I hoped to avoid: Pitocin, narcotics, and an epidural. My induction could have been a lot harder, but my disability profoundly affected labor. But even before sh*t hit the fan, Laurie knew how to keep me comfortable. In what otherwise would have felt like a situation spiraling out of control, Laurie was a constant support. My daughter had some complications and Laurie told me what was happening while my husband stayed with our baby. She helped me breastfeed right away. I was happy to see her again and reintroduce her to our baby when she came to our house for my (lovely) massage. From beginning to end I could not have been happier to have Laurie in my corner.
