Testimonial for Lauren Carrabs, CD(DONA)
Lauren is an incredible doula!
Without her, I wouldn't have been able to achieve the natural, uneducated birth experience for my first birth.
She was informative during our prep sessions leading up to delivery, provided me with great recommendations on supplements, pediatrician, chiropractor, and preparation exercises.
She was checking in with me for the first few hours of my contractions, and got to my house at 330am. We labored at home for about 6 hours, where she advised when to change postions, use the yoga ball, shower, or breast pump to either speed up pr dlpw down the process as we felt necessary.
She offered support mentally and physically, options, and never made me feel uncomfortable in such an intimate setting.
Once we got the hospital I was 7cm dilated and when contractions were more intense, she helped me assess decisions like breaking my water, going into the tub, etc. This was so helpful as I was so focused on getting through each contraction and she knew what my intentions and birth plan were from the start.
When it was time to push, she was so supportive and even took photos as my husband helped deliver the baby, those moments will be with us forever.
I was able to achieve the birth experience I've always envisioned because of Lauren's professional guidance and strong support. Thank you Lauren!!
