Testimonial for Lydia Robinson CD(DONA), RN, CPM, IBCLC
Meeting Lydia and having her as my doula was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. Lydia is not just a nurse; she's an expert in labor and delivery, a certified lactation specialist, a teacher, a supporter, a researcher, and so much more. She is genuinely committed to her clients and serves to educate and empower them. Not only was I fully supported by her, but I was able to meet other mommas and fellowship with them as we navigated pregnancy and beyond. During my time with her, my husband and I had access to classes and other digital resources that provided detailed information about pregnancy, labor and delivery, breastfeeding, the history of doulas, and even the postpartum phase.
My labor and delivery took an unexpected turn when my twin girls decided they wanted to make their debut six weeks early. Although my husband and I had planned a vaginal delivery, the on-call doctor proposed a c-section because one of my girls was transverse. Lydia stayed in touch with my husband and me THE ENTIRE time I was in labor. Initially, after learning that my water had broken and that I would be admitted, I was emotionally distraught and panicked. Need I mention that my contractions were a bit of a distraction too…LOL Without hesitation, Lydia willingly spoke to the gynecologist, inquired about their medical recommendations, and advocated for me while my husband comforted me. I thank God for Lydia; even now, at almost 6 months postpartum, she is still very active in our lives, and we plan to keep it that way. She became family the day we met.
A doula is an investment you will not regret. My husband and I are already planning our next pregnancy journey with Lydia.
Thank you, Lydia, for ALL you do and have done for my family and me. I feel heard, valued, and confident because of you as a Black Momma.
