After a tough first birth experience where we felt like everything just happened TO us and it ultimately ending in C-section, we knew we wanted to work with a doula for our second child. When we found out we were pregnant we interviewed two doulas and I knew Lauren would be the right choice for us.
She was a wealth of knowledge and recommendations from prenatal through postpartum. During our labor she worked so hard and put my body through every conceivable position to get our baby in the optimal position. She was encouraging, calm, and kind in what is usually such a high-stress situation. She was an amazing support not only to me, but also to my husband. She worked amazingly well with the entire hospital staff and was an incredible sounding board for us when faced with decisions to make.
Ultimately, our birth ended in a C-section again. However, I came out of this experience knowing that we did absolutely everything we could to try and bring our daughter into this world according to the "plan" we had in mind. It was such a positive experience because we knew we had the knowledge to make the informed decisions on the time table that we should be given during our birth. Our experiences in our births were like night and day and that is all due to Lauren.
My husband and I wholeheartedly agree that if we were to have another child we would absolutely hire Lauren again. Thank you, Lauren!
