Testimonial for Lynzi Blacker CD/PCD(DONA)Lactation Consultant
We hired Lynzi as our doula in hopes of having an unmedicated birth for our third and final baby. My first two pregnancies involved an epidural and traditional pushing on my back. Lynzi was warm from the initial phone consultation and asked many questions to get a sense of the type of birth experience our family wanted. Throughout pregnancy, she offered resources and information - all in service of us making the most informed decisions rather than deciding for us. I had contractions and many false alarms the week leading up to birth, and she was always ready to support us if it was time. On the day of labor, she was so accurate in the timeline of coming to our home, going to the hospital, and delivery time. She was compassionate, always asking if I needed coaching, and supporting my husband to help me. She has a natural intuition about labor progression and suggested different positions for labor and pushing. Ultimately, we were able to have our unmedicated experience and I am convinced this was not be possible without her. It was a wonderful way to end our pregnancy and labor journey, and she’ll always be apart of that end. PS - rent the TENS!!
