We love to hear your feedback, and are thrilled that our dear friend and client Hillary wanted to share hers with everyone--we are so grateful for her support!

I highly recommend Lucina Doula Services. Megan Sloat helped me deliver my son in December 2009. I don’t know how my husband and I would have made it through my 20 hour labor without Megan’s support. I know at least I wouldn’t have been able to have as wonderful an experience as I did. It was very important for me to have a natural childbirth and around hour 17 and 18 I came very close to giving in and getting epidural. Megan encouraged me and helped with some natural pain management and labor augmentation techniques. It was in these difficult hours that Megan’s experience as a doula really showed. Megan was there from beginning to end. She was up with us in the middle of the night when my contractions began—and then let my husband and I labor on our own for a while. She came to the hospital with us later in the morning.
While at the hospital Megan was indispensible. She walked the halls with me while my husband caught a much needed nap, ran errands so my husband could stay by my side, held my hand and put a cold cloth on my head while I got stitched up after delivery so that my husband could be with our newborn, and last but certainly not least, took amazing photographs of our experience.
Megan made a post-partum visit a week after the birth and helped with laundry, cooking, and cleaning, and holding the baby when I just needed to take a shower or an uninterrupted nap.
Megan did an amazing job of being present when we needed her to, and absent when my husband and I needed time alone. She not only supported me, but supported my husband so he could be there for me. I’ll certainly be calling on Lucina Doula Services when it’s time for
number two.
