It's not very often that Dad's write a review, so here it is from a Dad's perspective..
"Lucinda did not ask us to write anything, but I just felt compelled to because of how amazing our experience was. Let me backup a little and say, with our first 2 kids, without a doula present, the deliveries went fairly well overall. But this time, Kelsey has been praying for an all-natural birth for months. It has been a really big deal to her, and she’s been studying for it and preparing for it. But, we knew that if we wanted to be successful with the all-natural birth Kelsey desired, our best bet was to have a doula helping us. I’m a paramedic and have a decent grasp on the body as a whole and have even delivered a few babies myself, but labor and delivery is FAR from my specialty. I knew that I did not have even close to the knowledge and experience needed to give Kelsey the help she would need come delivery time. So we talked with Lucinda and were stoked when she was able to be our doula. And let me just say, though the first 2 births went alright, the difference was truly unbelievable. This birth was everything that Kelsey had been hoping and praying for! It went so amazing in every way! Kels was incredible and obviously did all the heavy lifting that night/day, but Lucinda’s help and knowledge and advice were absolutely invaluable! She was able to help get the baby in the right position, gave us exercises to do to try and get labor moving along naturally, helped be an advocate with a doctor who was a little more pushy than Kelsey wanted, and was just a huge encouragement and blessing for both Kelsey and I. She also took some candid pictures of us that are extremely special to both Kelsey and I! I do want to give a quick shoutout to the amazing staff at the hospital that we had. Aside from the 1 doctor who was a little pushy that we had very briefly, all of the nurses and doctors we had were so patient and kind and wanted the birth to be what Kelsey wanted it to be- especially Doctor Woodward! I know this isn’t about them, it’s about Lucinda, but I wanted to give them a shoutout as well! But all of that rambling to say, Lucinda was SUCH a blessing to our little family, and we’re thankful to the Lord that we were able to have the birth Kels has been praying for. We know that the Lord used Lucinda to help accomplish that. And now we get to spend time holding our precious little girl. If you are reading this and are in need of an amazing doula, PLEASE reach out to Lucinda. She was amazing in every way! We were so blessed to have her with us."
