Testimonial for Britt Sando CD(DONA), LCCE, IBCLC

I hired Britt to work with me for my second pregnancy. I had used a doula for my first birth (down in Washington DC) and knew that even if this birth went very fast -- as they say second births do -- I would still want the support and comfort of a doula by my side.

In the end, my pregnancy went a week over due. More than my midwives, Britt was my life line in discussing options and strategies. She was always available to chat after my appointments and provided a great measure of comfort and support. She had great information and knowledge to share, making me feel that all my options were explored and addressed. Also, she kept some humor in the mix when I felt like I might be pregnant forever :)

The birth was indeed very fast. I woke in the morning with light contractions and contacted Britt. She suggested I get in the shower, eat some breakfast and check back in later. When I did, and when she heard a contraction over the phone, she suggested that we get to Morristown Medical Center quickly so that we could check in and get settled before the birth. Britt met us there and joined me in Labor & Delivery. She made sure that I was fed and watered and gave great counter pressure during contractions. After the birth she stayed with me while nurses and husband tended to the baby. She was calm, steady and confident throughout the process.

Again, after the birth, in the post-partum weeks Britt was in touch and available to talk to make sure I was doing OK. She helped with nursing and cracked nipples. She came for a wonderful post-partum visit and stayed in touch.

Britt provides services that are essential for a pregnant woman and new mom. She was extremely caring and steady -- qualities I truly appreciate. I would recommend Britt to any woman looking for a natural birthing experience.
