Testimonial for Michelle Lucas CD(DONA)
We are so thankful for having Michelle for our birth experience. Not only did having a doula provide us with the confidence knowing we had support, but Michelle's calming and strong presence gave us peace of mind leading up to and during the birth process. I had a lot of fears that I needed to move past from my previous emergency C-Section. She talked with me and helped me lay out a plan for a hopeful unmedicated VBAC. Fast forward to our labor.... I had a VERY unexpected & quick labor after my waters broke. I texted Michelle as soon as that happened and she put my mind at ease to just relax and rest and that she was there when we needed her. It was SO nice to know that we had her as a birth doula professional to help us through anything. After 2 hours of laboring at home, I suddenly get the undeniable urge to push and couldn't walk so we had to call paramedics to our house thinking we may not make it to tue hospital in time to deliver the baby! I felt it was important to get to the hospital due to my complicated and traumatic precious c-section so we tried to make sure we made it there in time. Michelle was able to respond quickly to our emergency call. She was able to get to our house quickly and right before we left our home. As I was getting into the ambulance, she was able to pray with me before I was rushed to the hospital and she followed behind the ambulance. Once we were at the hospital, she was such a crucial part of our birth team. She helped guide breathing and provided a familiar face and support system to know that things were going to be okay. She checked up on us countless times during the postpartum period and made sure we knew that she was there if we needed anything. Thank you to Michelle for being such a sweet member of our birth team for our beautiful redemptive VBAC birth!
