Testimonial for Lynzi Blacker CD/PCD(DONA)Lactation Consultant
I can not imagine delivering my second baby without Lynzi’s support. She is truly incredible. I am writing this testimonial because every woman deserves a wonderful birth experience, and Lynzi is an amazing support person.
There are countless examples to tell why everyone should consider hiring Lynzi, and here are only some of them:
- She checked with me every day during the last few weeks of my pregnancy and guided me wonderfully through this stressful process. While I took a childbirth class before meeting Lynzi, Lynzi’s daily suggestions and tips to prepare me for labor far more exceeded the class I took. For example, had she not encouraged me to discuss the 41-week option with my ob/gyn, I could have ended up being induced hours before my actual labor.
- During the labor, when I first heard that the baby is in the posterior position, I felt hopeless. But Lynzi encouraged me to use the bathtub; and while we were in the bathtub, the baby changed his position so quickly. It was Lynzi’s support that helped me to overcome all circumstances in labor.
- I was in so much pain towards the end of my labor and wanted an epidural despite underlining a completely natural birth in my birth plan. Lynzi suggested to me to go through contractions 1 one 1. Instead of using a general statement, she was suggesting a manageable goal. Her suggestion incredibly helped me. I decided to go one by one while I was only 6 cm dilated, and incredibly, I was in the pushing process after about 3 or 4 more contractions.
- I hired Lynzi only as a birth doula, but after checking with me about my breastfeeding experiences and baby’s health, she also visited me twice to make sure I have a wonderful postpartum experience. All these were bonus services she provided.
Overall, I can not thank Lynzi enough for what she has done for us during my labor and postpartum process.
