Testimonial for Lori Rose CD(DONA), CLC, CPD(CBI)
We had our first child via natural virginal birth without epidural. The little one was 10 days past due day and born just an hour before the scheduled induction. Can't believe we accomplished almost everything on our birthing plan - certainly could not have done it without Lori!
We are super glad that we made the decision to hire a doula and Lori is amazing! The pre-labor consultation sessions are very helpful and asserting. She also met up with us couple times more to check up since our baby was over due. When the contractions started kicking in, Lori was quick in responding and guiding us through the process. She came to our place to help me set up the right mind set and exercise to speed up the dilation. My dilation stalled when we got to the hospital and Lori helped us through different positions to get it back on. She also helped us to ask for the Nitro gas as we tried every technique to ease the pain and speed up the process. There was no nurse at the room when I was in active labor and we had to ask three times to get the doctor. While the excruciating pain seemed to be endless, Lori's voice brought me calm and control. I pushed for less than an hour and I can still remember her words during those challenging moments - "don't let the air out from your mouth, let it out from your bottom"!
Lori was with us pretty much all the time from 4pm, when the contraction was every 15min, to 6am the next day morning. We definitely recommend any first time parents to get a doula, especially those who are trying for natural delivery. And we highly recommend Lori if you are thinking about getting one!
