Testimonial for Erin Moyen, CD/BDT(DONA), PCD(DONA), LCCE, CLE
We were so blessed to have Erin attending us with our first child. My pregnancy seemed to be going well but there were many concerns that lead to 5 rounds of induction, 4 resulted in labor, none resulted in a baby. This was such a hard time for our family; but for every hurdle we had Erin's comfort and support. Her experience, and knowledge were a huge asset but it was her strength and kindness that were the greatest gift. We did ultimately decide to stop induction and try a more natural approach to initiating labour. Erin helped us weigh our pros and cons and supported our decision without question. It took a week for labor to begin, and progress over 3 days until delivery. Once again not quite the way we expected things to go, we did make it through with out pain medication, our little one was is an extremely odd position which required assistance to get him moving. Once again we deviated from our birth plan. In the end I had a broken tailbone, a beautiful baby boy and even though it didn't go as "planned", Erin had always been there to rsmi d us of what was important, "Happy, Healthy Baby and Mommy". Now when I tell my story and see people cringe and say I would be crazy to think of doing this again, I can smile and say that it wasn't that bad because I had my happy ending! I have Erin to thank for this; she always kept us positive and focused!
