Testimonial for Donna Rigert
The saying, "Everything happens for a reason" certainly rang true when I met this wonderful woman. She was our back-up doula in the chance that we went into labor while our original doula went on a much needed family vacation. Little did Donna know what was in store for her when she answered her phone the morning my water broke, two weeks before my due date. She jumped in as though she had been waiting for my call all along. She came and sat with my husband and I that morning in order to get to know us. She was there with us every step of the way during my attempted vbac. From the beginning, while we were trying to start contractions through to the very end, a total of two days. She coached and encouraged me through 12 hours of pitocin induced labor and 2 hours of pushing. She encouraged my husband to be with me and be where I needed him to be. Donna also captured some of the more personal and intimate moments between my husband and I, pictures we will always treasure. We are both forever grateful that this tiny, beautiful ball of positive energy was there with us. We wouldn't have wanted it any other way. She's just amazing; there's no other way to put it. Donna is now someone we now consider a part of our family and I couldn't be happier!
