Testimonial for Luci Gimenes
I cannot stress enough how wonderful having Luci at my birth was. Actually, no. Not wonderful. Necessary. There is literally no way I could have had an intervention-free birth without her. Period. I went into labour overnight, and it progressed quite quickly. We actually had to call Luci on her way in and redirect her to meet us at the hospital. Once there, she quickly took charge. She supported me in relaxing through and working with the contractions, and supported my husband in supporting me. It felt like seemless teamwork throughout. My doctor actually mentioned at my post-partum checkup how impressed he was with the way the 3 of us worked both together (and importantly, with my doctor) to birth my son.
As a FTM, I was looking for a doula who could support and calm us. As a physician, I was looking for someone knowledgable in the medical aspect of labour/delivery. I found both in Luci. My plan was to attempt a natural birth while knowing full well the various complications that can occur and the interventions required for them. Luckily, I had a smooth natural delivery, in no small part thanks to Luci. I highly recommend her to any FTM, or any mom who is looking to attempt a natural delivery.
