Testimonial for Susan Rotman, AAHCC, CD(DONA)
Like many first time parents, my wife and I spent the early portion of our pregnancy feeling anxious and uneasy about the many decisions that we would have to make over the coming months. This anxiety only grew as we came closer to our due date and health factors altered our plan from a natural birth at a birth center, to an induced labor (three weeks early) in the hospital setting we had been trying to avoid. When things where at there most difficult, Susan provided unwaivering support and was able to draw on her years of experience to walk us through every decision with confidence. We were never pushed to make a decision we werent prepared to make and having Susan at the labor allowed us to slow things down and proceed when we were comfortable and informed. In the end, our induced labor went so much better than any of us could have expected and our first child came into this world happy and healthy, and without needing an epidural. In the end, it wasn't the support she provided in the delivery room (although that alone would have been enough) but the support she provided along the way that was crucial for us. From the late night texting sessions discussing labor questions to the home cooked meals for after delivery, we were a team and she was an integral part. We cant thank her enough for the positive influence she had throughout our experience.
