Testimonial for Lauren Hulit Bradbury
Dan and I are so incredibly grateful to have had Lauren as our Doula. It was our first pregnancy and we had to go through IVF, so we were particularly nervous. After multiple doula interviews, Lauren stood out as being incredibly well informed and experienced. I am a statistically driven person and Lauren was there for us with both information and emotional support. From the beginning, she was able to answer so many questions and alleviate our concerns.
When I found out the baby was breech in my third trimester, as we got closer to the due date Lauren spent hours on the phone with me as I tried to decide whether to go for a vaginal delivery or schedule a cesarean. She was so supportive of my apprehension with either decision. She came to my ECV procedure, which she wasn’t required to do. And when it failed she was there for me emotionally.
I ended up switching doctors at 38 weeks to try for a breech vaginal birth, and we are so thankful to have had Lauren as a constant for the entire pregnancy.
In labor, even after being prepared in so many ways I had no idea how to handle contractions, and Lauren knew exactly what to do to help me get through the pain, physically and emotionally. It ended up being a cesarean, which I was strongly against, and Lauren was there for me at every step. She stayed with us through the night for hours after the surgery, and was there for us with texts and phone calls during our postpartum stay.
Lauren’s calm demeanor and wealth of information makes her an extraordinary doula, and we were so fortunate to have her with us on this journey.
