I would absolutely recommend Laurie!!
Laurie was knowledgeable, thorough, and reassuring at our meetings before the birth. During the birth, she offered guidance and support for both me and my husband. She helped me cope during contractions and figure out which positions worked best for me as I labored. My husband appreciated her suggestions for how to be both present and helpful throughout the labor.
We asked for an exercise ball early on in the labor and Laurie realized it needed air. She patiently worked with multiple nurses to find a pump that worked and inflated it to a proper level for me. It turned out that exercise ball was one of the best tools for me during labor and I greatly appreciated her persistence.
We met again with Laurie after our baby was born and we valued Laurie's ability to help us reflect on the birth, appreciating both the challenges and the things that went well.
I believe that we had a positive birth experience thanks to Laurie's comforting presence and thoughtful suggestions. Thank you Laurie!!
