Testimonial for Diana Fisher
Diana was excellent to work with. For our first meeting she came to our house and we talked about everything! We talked about our ideal birth plan, my previous pregnancy and birth story, and about the services she provides. Diana also assured my husband that her role wasn't to replace him in the process but rather to assist him. That was very thoughtful and important to him. Diana is a very warm, open and caring person and is very easy to talk to-essentially every thing we were looking for in a doula. We had a couple more meetings prior to delivery day and those were just as comfortable as the first. We discussed birth plans and different things that could arise. On delivery day she arrived to the hospital per our agreement when I started feeling that I needed her there. She was amazing helping me through contractions and sending hubby for food when it was needed. We discussed each of the variations from my original birth plan as needed. I had wanted to birth completely naturally. As the 11th hour wore on, I wasnt progressing and the doctor wanted to increase the pitocin-I decided I wanted an epidural. I felt like a failure and that I had given up. Diana comforted me and assured me that I was making the right decision for me and that I was doing well. When it came time to push Diana helped advocate for me in my desire to use various birth positions. After 3.5 hours of pushing, my stubborn baby wouldn't budge and a c-section was required. Diana was there for me in discussing the necessity with my doctor and in the operating room. My husband and I couldn't be happier with the way labor and delivery went. I attribute that in large part to Diana's presence and assistance. I highly recommend her. She truly cares about her moms and their babies. She came to our house again several weeks after the birth to check on us and see how breastfeeding was going. It was a great visit!
