As my husband and I prepared to have our first child, we were far from family and intimidated by the challenge. We were unable to find an in-person class to prepare for childbirth. So, it became very important to us to find a doula who could educate us and support us through the birth process. Lori met with us several times before the birth to help us formulate a plan, learn pain management techniques, and reduce our anxieties. With Lori’s help, we felt much more prepared for the labor and delivery process and were able to approach the delivery with confidence.
On the day of delivery, Lori joined us in the middle of the night. She and my husband worked together to maximize my comfort, advocated for me to the nurses who had a tendency to wander away, and created (to the extent possible) an atmosphere of relaxation throughout my labor.
Seven weeks after I delivered, I developed mastitis symptoms. I reached out to Lori for advice – she was able to give me great input.
Overall, my doula experience was fantastic, and I would highly recommend Lori to anyone who wants the support of an experienced birth coach and lactation specialist through their pregnancy and labor.
