I initially found Laura through a search on doulamatch.net and after the first session, I felt so much more informed about the birth experience I wanted and how I can achieve it.
Laura was so knowledgeable in the different practices, doctors and hospitals in my area. She helped me understand the best practice for me, which actually resulted in a change of practices at 6 months pregnant. After that switch to a midwifery practice per their recommendation, I was so confident with my pregnancy and delivery for my first birth.
Laura matched me with my doula, Lauren C., who was absolutely perfect for what I needed. I was able to achieve the birth experience I've always envisioned.
I labored at home with my husband from 8pm to 3am, and my doula arrived at 330am to help me labor at home until 11am when we went to the hospital. I was 7cm when I arrived at the hospital, labored for another 2.5 hrs and I pushed for 20 minutes, when my baby boy entered this world.
I couldn't have done any of that without Laura's recommendations and Lauren's guidance and support. I will absolutely be using them again for my next birth!
