Nervous first timer found exactly what I needed
Lacey is absolutely incredible! As a nervous first timer who decided late in game to attempt a natural birth, Lacey was exactly the support I needed. She exudes warmth, positive energy, and a much needed sense of humor. Five minutes into our first meeting, I knew I could do this with her by my side. (My husband was also totally anti-doula until our meeting with Lacey)
She was encouraging and responsive during my quick, home labor, and invaluable at my hospital delivery. (Lacey knew key medical info for my intake my husband couldn’t remember!) After the baby’s birth, my husband was able to give his full attention to our daughter while Lacey brought me drinks, snacks, cool compresses and reassurance during the afterbirth. I credit Lacey completely with my breastfeeding success. She helped my daughter to latch in the delivery suite when I did not even have the energy to sit up.
Lacey also captured several photos my family will treasure forever. I am so deeply grateful and plan to have Lacey by my side for all future births.
Two doulas is even better!
Lacey and Jackie came to us much later in our pregnancy- around 38 weeks maybe. My doula for our first born, who also happens to be my sister, was going to be out of town and Lacey was highly recommended by our midwives at Rising Moon. After meeting Lacey for the first time, my husband and I felt a breath of relief that we had found someone to play such an important role in the home birth of our second child. We felt comfortable and confident with her. We spoke on the phone numerous times before the big day. When the big day came Lacey and Jackie listened to our needs, were there when we needed them, took a step back when not needed, and consistently reminded me that I could do this! It’s been 4 months now and Lacey still reaches out to keep in touch and offer advice not only as a doula but as a mother and a friend. I highly recommend Lacey and King of Prussia Doulas.
Warm and soothing
I would highly recommend Lacey as a doula. She has a warm, soothing demeanor that is very helpful in labor. Her prenatal visit provided insightful information and her postnatal visits were helpful and enjoyable.
My labor progressed very quickly for my child’s home birth and Lacey calmed me down by talking to me on the phone while she was racing to my house at 4:00 in the morning. When she arrived, her presence and skills immediately helped me through the the rest of my labor. She was also excellent with my 6 year old during the birth and helped her in the moment as well.
I am very pleased to have chosen Lacey as my doula and if I were to have another child, I would definitely want her there again.
Supported my family
Lacey did placenta encapsulation for me after my third son was born. She was amazing, and did a great job! She was so caring and kind, and even occupied my two older boys while she was at our home. She continually asked what she could do for us and even offered to run errands for us on her way to our home. She is definitely someone that I will never forget. She is one of the sweetest and kindest people that I have known! I would definitely use her again in the future!
Made me feel confident in myself and my ability to be strong
Lacey was the best birth champion. I knew when I met her she was the one I wanted to support me through this experience because she had this perfect blend of being caring and thoughtful but also it was clear she took no BS. She was honest and straightforward with me when we would talk during pregnancy while being totally encouraging. She made me feel confident in myself and my ability to be strong.
As it was, my daughter came into the world before Lacey was able to arrive (giving birth is crazy unpredictable!), but she was in contact with me and with my mom throughout my labor giving advice and suggestions for us to cope. Where she really shined for me was as a post-partum support: she was so helpful in helping me over and over learn how to nurse my daughter and how to soothe her crying. She visited twice after the birth and each time came with helpful advice and skills for us to practice. But beyond the practical help (of which she offered plenty of, including via text between visits), she was such a great emotional support. She encouraged me to slow down, to leave projects for later, to care for myself, and to just enjoy the experience. That kind of permission was invaluable. I could really feel that she cared about me, as a whole person, and wanted me to enjoy the experience of new motherhood as fully as I could. I can’t thank her enough for the reminders to stay present and to slow down.
I would highly recommend having Lacey as a doula.
