I loved working with Laurie! She visited us in our home 3 times prior to the birth for a pre-hire interview and 2 pre-birth consultations. She helped us put together a birth plan and made us feel much more comfortable about and prepared for the birth process. We also took a birth class that was helpful, but the amount of information to remember was very overwhelming. We felt like we could relax because Laurie would be there to help us remember what we'd learned.
And I had a very fast but mild labor, so without Laurie's help we probably wouldn't have made it to the hospital in time because I never reached the recommended contraction length and pain level to contact our midwife.
She also visited us twice postpartum to check in and make sure we were adjusting ok. This was so helpful, because it was overwhelming to think about leaving the house in the early days. Even though my husband and I didn't have any symptoms of postpartum depression, it was wonderful to have an unbiased person to talk to and ask questions of.
And I would have hired Laurie if the only thing she offered was the postpartum massage. It was amazing!
