Testimonial for Laura Fortner, CD(DONA)
I was blown away by Laura! First of all, she helped me find the BEST fit of a doctor for me whenever I decided to switch OB doctors. I am forever grateful for this! Second of all, she met with my husband and I ahead of time to find out my birth preferences. It was extremely helpful talking with her about my plan and of course, keeping a flexible frame of mind (since not all plan A's will work out). When the day came to give birth, my husband and I thought I was much farther along than I really was but Laura coached us through everything. She helped us decide to go back home when I was only dilated to a 1 and half. Thank goodness for that, because I ended up laboring mostly at home and only being in the L&D room for 2 hours before giving birth to my baby boy. AND, my plan A did end up working out! During the labor process in the hospital, she had various positions for me to try which was so helpful. My water broke in one of the positions and the pushing started a little after that. I hope that isn't TMI, but I just say it to mean she was a wealth of knowledge and a blessing to this first time mom! My husband and I both agree that Laura was a godsend! I honestly loved my birth team so much that I hope to keep in touch regularly with them.
