Testimonial for Marcia Mattern, CD (DONA)
Marcia Mattern was my doula for my third child. I didn't have a doula with my other pregnancies. It was important to me to have a successful vaginal birth after caeseran and because my husband and I hadn't gone through a labor and delivery since our first child which was over five years ago, we thought we could use help. Marcia ensured that my needs were being met in the hospital and was my birth director, which I say very appreciatingly. She told me what positions to try, when to change or switch to another, remembered to offer ice and coached me verbally. A few pre-birth meetings in our home helped her know what my husband and I liked for our labor and delivery experience. If she hadn't been to our home, she wouldn't have been inspired to say the most helpful piece of advice during my labor. She related a piece of art hanging on our wall to how I could manage my pain. I'll be forever grateful for her expertise and wisdom.
