Testimonial for Becky Rohrback CD(DONA) SBD
Choosing to work with Becky for birth of our son was the best decision my husband and I made. We came to Becky looking for someone to help guide & encourage us through this birth process as new parents and she delivered. We were always planning to deliver at GBMC, which has more rigid policies and procedures around labor & delivery, and wanted someone familiar with this to help us have the birth we desired within those parameters. We were also looking for someone who could provide encouragement to my husband while he cared for me during the birth & delivery.
When I spoke with Becky, there was an instant connection & her philosophy that she was there to support the birth that we wanted without interjecting her opinions was exactly what we wanted. We came to her thinking we wanted things a certain way, but after talking with her & our doctor, our minds were more open & we had more confidence. When my sister had a difficult natural delivery with an unexpected complication after birth & I came to her feeling overwhelmed & scared for my own delivery, she was able to rebuild my confidence.
When it was time to welcome our son, my body did not cooperate & almost all my birth preferences were thrown out the window. However, I was still mostly able to have the labor & birth that I envisioned. Relaxation through soft music, dim lights, & flameless candles were all at her suggestion and made my long & difficult labor as much like a day in the spa as you can have In a hospital. Her encouragement helped me find my voice when I needed it, and she helped my husband find his sometimes hidden calm and nurturing side which was so needed. I could go on and on about how wonderful it was to have Becky on our team. She truly felt like a member of the family during the most exhausting and most wonderful day of our lives, and I would absolutely recommend her support for anyone - first timers or experienced parents!
