Testimonial for Donna Rigert
Donna is a fantastic doula. We chose her to be our doula for the birth of our first child. Within minutes of our first meeting, we knew Donna was the right person for us to work with. Donna made us feel very much at ease, and we quickly felt comfortable including her in our birth experience. She met with us several times prior to the baby's due date, and we always came away feeling comfortable and prepared. She had a lot of good advice regarding classes to take, books to read, and pain management tips. When I think back about how naive we were and how little we knew about child birth, I am so thankful that we chose to hire Donna. Little did I know how much help she'd give not only to my wife during labor, but to me as the father-to-be! To all the soon-to-be dads reading this, Donna is there to give you a break as well, and trust me...you're going to need a break now and again. Donna will help you understand what's happening during the labor, what's happening at the hospital, and what's happening with your little baby once he or she arrives. If you don't have family close by to support you during labor, I highly recommend a doula like Donna to be there with you. She will be your coach and your advocate. She will remember things that you'll forget. She'll be there to document the first few moments of your new baby's life. Trust me, you're not going to remember to pick up the camera when the baby first arrives. Donna's photos of those first moments, and her written birth story, are treasures that we'll always have. They both bring tears to my eyes to this day. If all of this wasn't enough, Donna will be there a few days after you're home from the hospital as well. You'll get a lactation consult, some warm words of encouragement on your parenting skills, and if you're lucky, some AWESOME crab cakes! My wife and I would hire "Donna Doula" (as we came to call her) again any day, and we highly recommend her services.
