Testimonial for Dana Oakes-Sand AS, CCE, MCD, NMPP, IPES
***POSTED ON BEHALF OF MY MOTHER, MARIANNE*** 1/2
I was privileged to be in the labor and delivery room with my daughter when she gave birth. Also in the room, completing my daughter’s team, was her husband, two delivery room nurses, and my daughter’s doula, Dana. My daughter’s labor and delivery was long and hard – 22 hours in total with the last two just about all pushing. From the moment Dana entered the room, she gave the mother-to-be such comfort and care. Through all the hours, Dana was continually guiding her through each phase of labor. Each time when my daughter thought she wasn’t going to make it to the end without any pain relief as had been her plan, Dana was there giving guidance and encouragement to continue on. Her suggestions of different positions, at times when no one else in the room thought my daughter could possibly do it, were incredible and of course the right thing to do. Her continuing advice, support, words of encouragement, wonderful experience and knowledge got my daughter through her difficult delivery.
