Testimonial for Angela Lygren
Angie is one of the sweetest humans I’ve had the pleasure of knowing—there is a reason I so quickly went back to her the instant we knew we were expecting our second child! She not only brings a calm energy to the room, making you feel safe and secure even in the midst of emergency, but makes you feel like family. One of my absolute favorite things, too, is watching her talk to baby (even when he/she is still in the womb <3), like they truly are the cutest and most loved little human they are. During my second birth, an unplanned/surprise home birth, I remember the whole room’s energy changing when we realized baby’s heartrate had dropped and baby was in some distress and needed to come out ASAP. Angie knew of how rough my first delivery and recovery went, and how traumatic pushing was for me, and in that last moment (those final two pushes), I remember her calm/gentle voice reassuring me that I could trust her, her giving grace and allowing me time for one extra push to hopefully prevent a repeat birth injury (while also still watching baby), and her overall reassuring presence as I let go of fear and trusted her to do what she could to help me and baby best. In the days after birth both times, she checked in on me and baby, always making sure we were cozy first and then adapting herself, even if that meant doing our checks from bed, and no matter the type of day/night she has had with births, that same friendly smile meets you every time. Lord willing, when we have our third, I plan to go straight to Angie again where I know I will yet again be in good hands.
