My husband and I selected Lauren as our doula for the birth of our first child -- we are so happy that we did! Lauren was incredibly helpful in the months leading up to pregnancy. She provided recommendations and resources for us to determine our birth preferences and was a valuable sounding board when I was diagnosed with a high-risk pregnancy condition that required an induction -- and, consequently, a complete re-think of those preferences.
During my actual induction and labor, Lauren was an invaluable support person for both me and my husband. From bringing string lights to make the delivery room cozy, to guiding us through exercises during the unmedicated portion of my labor, to fetching water, to helping us determine the "next right step" when my labor stalled, we cannot imagine not having had Lauren as part of our pregnancy and birth journey.
