Testimonial for Laurel Krapivkin
I was hesitant to search for a doula because I didn’t think I would be able to find a match. I wanted someone that was knowledgeable yet not condescending, honest about my birth options yet not pushy and most importantly, someone that I could trust enough to be present at the most vulnerable and special moment of my life—Laurel was just that!
She was a true advocate during my 20 hour birth experience. She asked the questions to the medical staff that I was too tired to ask and helped with my positioning when my baby wouldn’t descend. When I was faced with difficult choices related to a slowing fetal heart rate, I used the information she had shared with my partner and I during our prenatal meetings to make the best choices for my family and she cheered me on while she held my hand (or leg) when I felt like I couldn’t push any more. My birth experience was truly made so much better by having Laurel as my doula—I can’t thank her enough!
