We had a check-in meeting with Lindsey, our Doula, whom we had not seen since Avi’s birth day. Although she didn’t get much blog airtime during the birth, she played an instrumental role for both me and Holly. At the very least, I wouldn’t have been able to provide the detailed play-by-play while Holly was laboring. Beyond that, though, Lindsey offered invaluable support, was a wonderful advocate for Holly, and was a balanced, positive spirit in the birthing suite during some of the most intense moments in our life. Perhaps the best complement comes from Holly herself. Despite the fact that medical realities pushed us into a birthing experience that wasn’t quite as planned, Holly said that she “loved her experience” and “has no regrets” thanks to Lindsey.
We’re thrilled to recommend her for anyone looking for a Doula in the Bay Area. Please email us if you’d like her contact info (you can email us from the About page).
