Testimonial for Becky Rohrback CD(DONA) SBD

My search for a doula for my second pregnancy began around 5 months. The more and more I reflected upon my first birth experience the more I felt I would benefit from additional guidance and support before, during, and after my delivery. This is exactly what I experienced with Becky who was warm, caring, knowledgeable and dependable during all of our interactions in person and over the phone. As a first time mom you are caught up in the emotional roller-coaster of doing whatever is asked of you and having little knowledge into what you as a mom want for your birth experience except a healthy child. Moms to be often think the pregnancy and delivery will go a certain way, then reality hits and you are thrown off course. With the second I knew what kind of delivery I did not want. Becky provided me with both the emotional support and medical explainations needed to lead to a delivery that I envisioned. She made sure it was I who made my own informed decisions. She was that confidante who was experienced, unbiased, and much needed when things weren't going as planned for which I will always be grateful. As a mom there are so many options and decisions when it comes to delivery, labor, pre-parenting and parenting. Hiring Becky as my doula was never a decision I second guessed, but wished it was something I had done for my first pregnancy.
