Adding Lauren to my birth team was the best decision I could have made… I was taking classes for the Bradley Method, and while they helped me understand the process my body was about to go through, Lauren was instrumental in ensuring the labor and delivery process went as smoothly as possible. My hospital had a horrific administrative mix-up and had 3 charts open for me at once, and an L&D nurse who was sweet but could not readily identify my stages of labor (e.g., contractions, pushing) - Lauren took the reins with ease. I have very little memories of my L&D nurse’s involvement, but am well aware of the impact Lauren had - from coaching my husband to be involved in my unmedicated pain management, helping me get into different positions, and working with my husband to communicate with the nurses and doctors, to making the room more festive with peppermint scents and lights just so I could feel a bit more at ease (December baby). I’m so grateful for Lauren and highly recommend making her a part of your birth team!
