Testimonial for Dana Oakes-Sand AS, CCE, MCD, NMPP, IPES
We are very pleased to have had Dana with us for our daughter's birth ! It was our first baby and we wanted to make sure we would have a familiar face in the delivery room. ( our practice has two doctors and shares being on call with another 3 doctors from a diff practice. ) We stayed in touch with Dana while I was in early labor and she came to the hospital to be with us once the labor and contractions got more intense. I ended up needing an epidural and even with the epidural Dana help me breathe through the contractions and even move into different positions to help the birth go more smoothly. It was nice to meet her early in my pregnancy because I was able to ask questions that came up along the way at our meetings. It was also so helpful to have her come to the house to visit once I got home from the hospital with our daughter. I was having some problems with my milk coming in and Deana helped put the breast pump together and taught me how to use it and encourage me to really pump every two hours to help my milk come I in as soon as possible She also help me come up with a plan including foods to eat how much water to drink monitoring the babies intake and how many wet diapers and how many poop diapers I should be seeing Of course you learn all that before but it doesn't really sink in until you have your real baby in front of you with 1 million worries and concerns and emotions.
It was so helpful having her come for the postpartum visit especially because as a first-time mom I didn't really know what to expect In terms of how i would be feeling physically and emotionally. Giving birth, although the best day of my life, was also overwhelming and exhausting as were the several few days after.
