I originally wanted to hire a labor doula because I wanted to have an unmedicated birth at a hospital. I wanted the support of a doula to assist me with pain management techniques during labor and to help advocate for my wishes during labor and delivery.
Liz was a fantastic doula! Liz was professional in all aspects of her services from beginning to end. Liz was also always very friendly and pleasant to be around.
While I was pregnant, Liz assisted my husband and me with creating our birth plan. Liz also suggested helpful questions to ask my OB to help me better prepare for labor and delivery.
During my labor, Liz suggested many different pain relief techniques. Liz walked the hospital floor with me during my early labor, and Liz’s hip squeezes provided me great relief during contractions! I felt very supported by Liz throughout my entire labor.
After the birth of our baby, Liz sent my husband and me a timeline of details of labor and delivery to help us remember when milestones happened, such as what time I started pushing, what time the baby was born, APGAR scores, etc. This was very helpful since the details of labor and delivery can easily get mixed up.
Liz also has wonderful birth photography skills. Liz captured precious moments like my OB holding up my baby right after delivery, the cutting of the baby’s umbilical cord, and our first family photo as a family of three. I will cherish those photos forever. If we did not hire Liz, those photos would not have been taken.
Since our baby was born, Liz has checked in with me via text several times and provided us helpful resources regarding infants.
I am very happy that we hired Liz for her labor doula services. I highly recommend Liz!
