“I really LOVED having you at both my births. You emphasized what a miracle it was to labor and struggle and then what a privilege to hold a newborn. You took pictures, you cheered, you were excited! And that made it seem worth it when I was ready to give up. You were my doula AND my friend, giving importance AND aid. By the way, could you manage a trip to Florida for my next child? *smile* I will SERIOUSLY miss you.”
“Thank you so much for all your time, support, knowledge and friendship during my pregnancy.”
“We would all like to thank you for all of your help and support. From your help in preparing us for the birth when we missed the childbirth class to your attention in the delivery room that helped keep me focused– I know it would not have been the same experience without you.”
“I am really glad I found you! I feel a lot less anxiety than I did a few weeks ago. I feel comfortable with you and your abilities.”
“At around 7:30 a.m., Lonna arrived. Lonna was our doula for Nolan’s birth, too, and I vowed never to give birth again without her. If I were pregnant and doing research in Antarctica, I’d fly her down for the birth. She’s that good. Her no-bullshit personality is what I like best about her. Since I’m a big chicken while laboring, she’s able to matter-of-factly snap me back and make me focus on the task at hand. When the anesthesiologist was delayed by more than an hour the last time around, Lonna got me through some really rough contractions. I knew I could count on her to get me through this time.”
“Lonna made my childbirth experience so memorable. My husband was thrilled because it took so much pressure off him. He was able to participate in my labor and delivery at his own comfort level. Looking back on my birth experience I can honestly say that I wouldn't change a thing!” |
