Testimonial for Birth You Desire ® LLC
I cannot recommend Birth You Desire (BYD) and specifically Ursula and Lindsey highly enough. We used BYD as a one-stop shop for our birth preparation, taking their online birth classes and infant CPR classes as well as utilizing Ursula and Lindsey as our doulas. We found all the classes to be very helpful and it was great having them all in one place as it's one less thing to think about in the run up to having a baby. Ursula and Lindsey's support throughout the pre- and post-natal period was fantastic. I found the prenatal support so helpful as it provided me with another set of expert opinions to ask questions and get reassurance in those final few weeks. And both Ursula and Lindsey were incredibly responsive over text, email, and calls when I had questions or concerns. Lindsey was present at the birth and truly I don't think it would have gone as smoothly without her there. Just when I started doubting my ability to make it through to the epidural, Lindsey showed up and her calming presence, humor, and guidance made it possible to push through multiple hours of back labor. (Also shout out to the TENS unit which Ursula and Lindsey encouraged me to rent through BYD. It 100% made the 12 hours of back labor bearable. I was skeptical but HIGHLY recommend!) Lindsey not only was able to guide me into different positions pre and post epidural, but was able to help explain in terms we could understand information from our nurses/doctors, next steps, and potential upcoming decision. After pushing for 2 hours, due to several complications, I ended up needing an unplanned, urgent c-section and again Lindsey's calm guidance was so, so invaluable (she even went above and beyond and packed up all of our bags while we were in the OR!). Even though I had planned for a medicated, vaginal birth, labor and delivery has a way of throwing you curveballs and I was so glad to have both Lindsey and Ursula's support.
