Testimonial for Maria Armstrong, LCCE, CD
I was planning a hospital birth after two planned homebirth and one that was born accidentally at home and then transferred to the hospital. I was very nervous about birthing in the hospital. I had also had a doula with a previous birth that, while she did advocate for me, I felt she was overly antagonistic toward the hospital staff after a transfer and it made me anxious. I chose Maria because I knew she was able to firmly advocate for me while still maintaining a good atmosphere with the staff. I was so glad I made this decision! My birth was fast, and Maria stayed right by my side and knew just how to help, with pressure points and cool cloths and support. I also had some post-birth complications and it was wonderful to have an extra set of hands, either helping with baby, with nursing, or helping me through procedures. She was kind and professional at all times. Maria made everything more comfortable, less stressful, and less scary, for both my husband and me, and I would certainly choose to have her with us again!
