Testimonial for Emerald Doulas
Our pregnancy journey, like everyone’s, was unique. I’ll briefly summarize: We weren’t certain if we wanted to have children, so we decided to let fate decide during a 6-month window. There was a positive pregnancy test a month and a half later. I was terrified.
My husband is an amazing man; knowing the fear that gripped me, he reached out to Lauren, who we were luckily able to have on our journey along with Melanie. I can’t describe the relief that flooded me during our first conversation when Melanie gently told me I was allowed to be terrified. I have never had two people in my corner that were more encouraging, uplifting, reassuring, and educational than Lauren and Melanie.
The calm that Lauren helped to establish in our birth room, along with the quiet words of advice, encouragement, and self-love she preached—throughout the time she spent with us—I will never be able to repay. She helped to gently lead us through the crazy turns our birth story took and helped us to see the big picture instead of panicking over the adrenaline-filled moments. We will forever be grateful for Melanie’s and Lauren’s parts in our story, and we will definitely use Emerald Doulas if we decide to try for a sibling.
