Testimonial for Donna Rigert
After about 6 months of trying it finally happened, my wife and I were expecting our first child. After our first appointment at the doctors office we received piles upon piles of brochures and literature. It was overwhelming. We had so many questions after we left and felt silly calling the doctors office about every little thing. After doing some research and getting a referral from a family friend we came across Donnas profile. After the first conversation I knew she was going to be amazing. We met with her for our first consultation, and it felt like we had known her all our lives. She is so charasmatic and welcoming I was blown away. She had so much amazing knowledge and you could just tell this was an absolute passion of hers. We spent about 4 hours with her for that first meeting, discussing what to expect before, during, and after the birth. She walked us through all the different options for a birth plan and gave us the pros and cons of each. At no time did we feel any pressure to do or not do something. She was completely open to our questions and helped us through everything. During the pregnancy, my wife was able to text or call Donna at anytime and ask her anything. She was more than helpful, she put us at ease and thats an amazing feeling when you are having your first child. The doctors decided to enduce my wife and Donna met us at the hospital at 8am ready to go. She gave my wife a foot massage, she had her doing several exercises to help speed up the labor. She kept the atmosphere warm and relaxing the entire time. 20 hours flew by in the blink of an eye and Donna was there from start to finish taking notes to build us a birthing story. After the birth my wife was having complications breast feeding. Donna came over to our home to assist and was able to help immensely. This woman is truly amazing, we loved her and you will have absolutely no regrets working with her.
