Testimonial for Becky Rohrback CD(DONA) SBD
Becky was recommended to me by a local mom in the Baltimore group on the What To Expect When You're Expecting website. She responded to my e-mail the same day and fortunately was available despite it being so late in my pregnancy. We spoke on the phone shortly thereafter, and it was just like talking to an old friend. She was beyond supportive of the wishes my husband and I had for our son's birth. She told us repeatedly that she was there to help us have the experience we wanted, not what she felt we should have. We didn't hesitate to sign a contract with her at our first in-person meeting, and as an added bonus her fees were phenomenal compared to other doulas in the area providing the same services or less. She was always available for any questions I had and would check on me periodically in the weeks leading up to D-Day. I knew in advance that I would be confined to bed for labor as I was positive for Strep B and would need IV antibiotics and since I was attempting a VBAC. Wanting me to progress the best way possible, Becky did research to find techniques I could use during labor that would keep things moving along despite my inability to be mobile. When our little man decided his time was up, I was on the phone with Becky quite a bit, keeping her informed of what was going on and looking for advice on what she thought our next step should be. When it was time to leave for the hospital she met us within minutes of our arrival there and got right to work checking on the progress I was making. Things moved rather quickly, and it was time to push. That's when things got crazy - or more accurately, I got crazy and became a raving lunatic for about 30 minutes. Becky, however, was totally unfazed and did everything she could to keep me focused and comfortable. Within no time, our 10 pound boy was in our arms with Becky playing photographer for us so that we could enjoy those first few minutes with our precious addition. We owe her so very much for all she did.
