Testimonial for Christina Carino CD(DONA)
During the pregnancy, her tips for me and my husband were really helpfuspearhead answered my crazy questions and supported my want for a VBAC. But...
Having a CBAC was never the plan. But having Christina as a part of my team was especially helpful. She made dealing with the situation bearable. She was helpful to my husband when dealing with situations that arose that were not a part of our birth plan. She help me find my voice when I really needed it.
And I can't forget that she actually saved my baby's life!
My husband was asked to go down to admitting to sign some paperwork. While he was gone the nurses decided to leave the room at that moment as well. My daughter had pooped all over me and Christina took her to clean her off. When she did she started to choke and stopped breathing due to the excessive mucus in her lungs. Christina did what she could to clear my baby's airway but it wasn't enough so she ran with my naked baby out into the hall. I can't imagine what could've happened had I been alone when she started to choke.
In summation, she was a blessing.
