Testimonial for MaryBeth Nance, AdvCD (DONA), CLD (CAPPA), SBD
Of all the choices I made surrounding the birth of my third child, the easiest one was hiring MaryBeth Nance. Honestly.
At the first meeting, I *knew* she was exactly the advocate I needed. Someone to reason with me when I was at an eight and starting to get frantic that I couldn't possibly endure anything more.
Birth rarely goes according to "plan". It was such a comfort to know that no matter how the day unfolded, I would never be alone. That, at every contraction I had reassurance and at every question, an answer. At every fear, a reassurance.
Best of all, my husband truly understood the worth of a doula after witnessing MaryBeth interact with me and the staff at Upper Chesapeake. His only regret is not knowing such a service existed with our prior births. It was a great comfort, knowing that someone with experience could guide me in a way that is beyond the scope of any partner.
It was one day of my life. But oddly, that one day I was born again as a mother. As if there was only "before baby" and then a totally new life after. The best beginning to this "new life" was the doula by my side, as I pushed the last time and suddenly, in that euphoric moment, there was the baby I had waited for. I will never forget the feeling.
