Testimonial for Christina Carino CD(DONA)
At the hospital when contractions were at their peak was when I knew we needed her as part of our birthing team. When things got rough, we got tired, or there was any question of our birth plan Christina was there to assist and resolve all of it. At the very end when I had doubted myself and was so tired I didn't think I would last another second Christina was the reassuring voice that helped guide me through to the birth of our daughter. When our sweet girl was born Christina stayed to make sure all of our wishes were carried out according to our birth plan and if there was ever a question Christina brought it to our attention. She helped Dad, took pictures of our first moments together as a family which were priceless and helped me to clean up and get what I needed to keep myself comfortable. As a certified lactation consultant she assisted me in those first moments of breastfeeding. She didn't leave the hospital until we were all settled in and there wasn't a question left to answer.
Christina also visited our home for a postpartum visit and helped with breastfeeding and provided moral support for a very tired but grateful new Mom and Dad.
She will be a part of our next birth and words on paper can't begin to describe what an important role she played as a part of our birth team and welcoming of our family.
My husband and I are extremely grateful to have had her as part of our team that day and give her the highest recommendation. We don't know what we would have done without her.
