Testimonial for Laura DePasquale, CD(DONA)
I’m an attorney, but I would not go to Court and represent myself. So when I finally had time to think about giving birth, I thought how the hell can I do this without someone there to represent me! Especially because I wanted absolutely no medical interventions, including an unmedicated labor. I did not think it was fair to make my husband have to deal me screaming in pain and watching the staff at the hospital to ensure my wishes were met. Hence the frantic doula search began. I happened upon Laura and she contacted me almost immediately. We chatted and I knew even without meeting her that she was our woman! We were able to attend her childbirth classes, which I also highly recommend. When I finally started having real contractions, Laura came to the house and helped me through them until it was time to head to the hospital. Her techniques were so useful that I was fully dilated upon arriving to the delivery suite and my daughter was born about 40 minutes later! All in, having Laura as our Doula was a great investment and helped me feel confident that I could achieve the delivery that I wanted. Hire her…you will not regret it.
