Going into my second homebirth, we wanted our young son (5) to be able to be present. Hiring a doula so she could care for me while my husband tended to our son was important to us. My midwife recommended Lindsay Millwood and I liked hearing Lindsay's own birth stories and how she would advocate for me. Lindsay was professional but also very relatable. When my labor started and birth was imminent, Lindsay not only helped to take care of me in a positive and nonjudgmental way, but she also stepped up to help take care of my son (playing card games, throwing the football, etc.). That helped my husband check in on me and be present for me, and also helped my son have a positive view of birth. After the birth, Lindsay provided great guidance on lactation that helped with our youngest son's early dehydration. I'm not looking to have another birth, but if I did, I'd want Lindsay in my corner again, and I recommend anyone looking to hire a doula to consider her.
