Testimonial for Danielle Lugrand, CPE, LCCE, CLC, AdvCD/AdvPCD(DONA)
Where to begin, I have had the pleasure of using Danielle's services twice now as a Doula, lactation consultant, and a midwiffery student. She is the most knowledgable person I have ever met in the birthing field. She was with me for my daughters birth at OU hospital and my sons birth at Mercy hosputal. She knows her way around the hospitals and was able to get things for me that I needed such as heated blankets or popsicles, and she is well known with a good amount of the staff at both hospitals. With both my births she was always one step ahead and able to anticipate my needs. With both of my long labors she was a great patient advocte and helped make sure my concerns were met and that I was well informed of any changes that may have occured and any medications that the doctors were wanting to give me. I trusted her opinion during any new decisions I may have had to make. She was very reassuring in that I was doing the best for my baby and me and keeping us both safe. She knew exactly what to say to help me ease through and pain and discomfort I may have had during labor and helped me focus on me and my babies, She was very calm. She got me up and moving to help my labor progress. She is knowledgable about oils during labor. Did I mention she also does prenatal massages. :) My son had trouble latching due to a tongue and lip tie and she recommended the best person to go to and helped us get the perfect latch after his procedure, helping to where breastfeeding was not painful anymore. She has a real gift for helping take care of pregnant mothers, husbands, and babies. She guided my husband on how he could help me during my labor pains and showed him how to do the hip squeeze, and she was there for him to help take over when he needed a break. She included my daughter in all of my checkups with my son. I plan on hiring her for any other births that I may have in the future. I am lucky to have had her and consider her a friend. LET's DOULA THIS!
