Testimonials from Former Participants

“First, I think they did a great job! You know that in the past the culture at FMC has not “embraced” the Lamaze method.  There have been some run-ins with aggressive doulas as well as unreasonable and often non-compliant patients. I feel the class helped to bridge the gap between current reality and our preconceived ideas/stereotypes. In the past it has felt like it was “us”(L&D nurses) vs “them”(doulas/Lamaze instructors) for as long as I can remember. Jen and Allison were proactive in dispelling myths and misunderstandings.  I feel like Jen especially worked at being diplomatic in her presentations to bring us together on the same team. I learned new practical things like Leopold’s maneuvers and creative ways to use our beds and peanut balls.”

“I have used the techniques I learned in Jen’s class and I would recommend that other L&Ds participate in the classes because more and more patients are choosing to go natural. With Covid, childbirth classes have gone virtual, no doulas allowed - patients are looking for more guidance from us.  The techniques have helped me be a better nurse and coach for the patients when they are to a point of giving up on their birth plan and getting an epidural.  I do not have recommendations for changes - I really enjoyed the class.”
