Testimonial for Marcia Mattern, CD (DONA)
Marcia was amazing! Words are not adequate to express how thankful we were to have her during our pregnancy, labor, and delivery. We had an unexpected c-section with our first birth, and we wanted to attempt a VBAC with our second pregnancy. We were surprised many times over at the lack of support we received from our medical providers when we expressed our wishes to VBAC. A friend recommended Marcia after hearing of our struggles. We contacted her and met with her. We hired her almost immediately.
Marcia met with us many times in our home. She was never rushed. She never made us feel silly for the lack of knowledge we had about pregnancy, labor, and delivery. She pointed us to some great resources for reading. She, herself, is also full of useful information. She answered so many questions. She became our source for all our concerns and questions during our pregnancy. We found so much comfort in having her support, knowledge, experience, and expertise.
Marcia lends a caring personality. She is gentle and compassionate. She was never intimidating or belittling.
Our labor went very quickly with our second pregnancy. Marcia was on her way to our house when we decided to head to the hospital. She met us at the ER where we quickly delivered our second son. She was so much help during the delivery and the hours after.
We never understood how beneficial she would be for us. We are so thankful we had her at our side. We will not hesitate contacting her again for our next pregnancy, and we highly recommend her.
