Testimonial for Britt Sando CD(DONA), LCCE, IBCLC
As first time parents coming from the UK and living in Jersey City... I thought it would be a good idea to hire a Doula as I had no female support here and had no idea about what to expect during labor, despite reading a ton of labor stories!! And WOW thank goodness I hired Britt!!!
She was an absolute star from start to finish!!
I knew I wanted to aim for a natural child birth and was looking into midwives just before meeting Britt as I wasn't happy with the direction my OB/GYN seemed to be taking me.
At Britt's recommendation I checked out Avalon Midwives and Morristwon Hospital. They seemed awesome so we went with them.
Thank goodness we found them and Britt :)
I went into labor at 41 +1 and turned out i was cooking a big baby.. 9lb 1oz !!
Britt stayed calm and was my complete rock throughout my 15 hour labor and I honestly don't know how I would have done it without her.
There was a time just as i was transitioning that my midwife was stuck in another c section and couldn't be in the room... Britt was an absolute star during this time and without her i would have completely lost the plot!!
With her help I had a completely natural birth..something i am very grateful for!! there were times when I am sure if I didn't have her at my side I would have opted for pain relief.. I pushed for over three hours and throughout, both my team of Britt and Avalon Midwives kept me positive calm and made me feel strong, never questioning whether I could do it!! I am sure my OB would have had me in a C section!
Thank you Britt so much from both myself and my husband .. you made the birth an amazing experience!! something never to be forgotten and cherished forver!!!
