Testimonial for MaryBeth Nance, AdvCD (DONA), CLD (CAPPA), SBD
MaryBeth attended the birth of my son. My only regret is that I didn't hire her for the birth of my first child!
She was very calm and patient throughout the entire experience. When I was having some complications with the pregnancy, she reassured me that everything would be fine and we'd handle it if it wasn't.
I was interested in going natural, but ended up getting pain medication and an epidural anyway, and she was fully supportive of my decision. She was very familiar with the hospital and was able to get me water, a nurse, the midwife, and anything else I needed right away.
I ended up being whisked back very quickly for an emergency c-section. So fast, in fact, that the doctors and midwives weren't going to take the time to explain. MaryBeth was able to step in and quickly explain to me what was going on, and that I hadn't done anything wrong and that they needed to do the c-section to make sure the baby was okay. While I was in the OR, she was supporting my husband and extremely frantic mother.
She took a bunch of really nice pictures after he was born, and wrote a beautiful birth story as well.
Should we ever have another child, I am booking MaryBeth immediately!
