Testimonial for Marcia Mattern, CD (DONA)
Marcia helped me with so many things during my first pregnancy and birth, from recommending probate birth classes to a house keeper during the post partem period. She encouraged my husband to get more involved in my pregnancy. When I asked for podcasts and books she had plenty of great ideas. Doctors, midwives, prenatal yoga instructors and lactation consultants know her by name and speak highly of her. When I was struggling with my OB, she gave me recommendations for switching and talked new through it because she respected the choices I wanted to make for my body and baby. My labor was 8 hours total and I was able to go through labor for the first several stages at my own house, using my own tub, with her help. I was 100% effaced by the time I got to the hospital and I never required the use of any drugs or even any IV in my hep lock. I was able to have skin to skin time with my son and my husband got to cut the cord. Marcia would speak to us through phone, text, email and in person interviews. Thank you Marcia!
