Testimonial for Becky Rohrback CD(DONA) SBD
Becky was our doula for the birth of my second child. She was a fantastic doula in so many ways. She was great at staying in touch throughout my pregnancy by email or phone and was always available. Her support was wonderful! We are relatively new to this area, so she was invaluable in helping me connect with different providers as well as knowing what to expect from the hospital and the midwife/OBGYN practice I had selected. I had severe depression during my pregnancy and she helped me find a fantastic acupuncturist who helped tremendously (and still does!). Becky was also fantastic at including my husband throughout the whole process. She immediately realized that he is an active, involved daddy and made it clear that she was there to help guide us during the labor process and not replace my husband’s important role. Another example of Becky’s fantastic support and guidance was in those last few tough weeks prior to birth. Our daughter was 6 days past her due date and I was getting pressure from a few different people to induce labor. Becky was great at listening to my concerns, supporting my desire to let our daughter chose her own birthdate, and helping me talk to other parties with different opinions. Finally, Becky was amazing at my daughter’s birth. It was a fast and furious birth this time (MUCH different from the 20 hour labor with Pitocin, epidural, and the huge episiotomy with my first daughter), but having Becky there coaching us the whole time was incredible. She really seemed to be able to read my thoughts during labor and had the right words at the right time. It was also wonderful having her come visit later to help me with breastfeeding and chat about my concerns about life with baby and big sister. I can’t recommend Becky highly enough.
