Testimonial for Lauren Glass
Lauren is so genuinely kind. Not only that, but she's super knowledgeable and resourceful. She helped talk me through different scenarios (both health-related and relational) and was down to earth and rational when she needed to be, and also vulnerable and empathetic when I needed it. She is caring and respectful and helpful and thoughtful... I could list a million different descriptors. Lol but she truly was such a help to me and my husband. She helped validate things that my husband didn't really understand from his perspective. She was a wealth of knowledge and encouragement prior to birth.
That's not even to mention how wonderful she was during labor! We had a home birth, so there were very few things I needed advocating for. But there was definitely a gap between what I needed and what the midwives provided. That was probably my biggest question going into it: "what can a doula give me that a midwife won't?" There are many things. She was encouraging in the moments I needed encouragement, she had a cute fan handy that I remember loving even 10 months PP lol, she made me an electrolyte drink that I hated in the moment but find myself craving constantly, she encouraged me to eat (pretty long labor and was throwing up everything, including water)... it all sounds a bit silly now, but she was my sidekick and truly an amazing one. So grateful to have had her for my first birth!
