Laura Depasquale has attended both of our children's births as a doula and I truly believe it was a huge part in making the experience as wonderful as it was. After taking her birth education classes, I saw how experienced, knowledgable and calm she was and I wanted her present. She was able to read me so well and her support made my husband and I feel so confident that we could have the natural childbirth we wanted and planned for. I think it's a primal and natural desire for a woman in labor to want to feel supported and understood and Laura definitely has the intuition and experience to deliver (excuse the pun). As I told her in a wave of endorphins after the birth, 'I love you!' But it wasn't just in the moment, I truly believe I couldn't have done two natural childbirths without her there. If we ever decide to have more children, I would plan it around Laura's schedule so she could be there. We're so pleased we followed our friends recommendation of using Laura. She's the best!
