Testimonial for MaryBeth Nance, AdvCD (DONA), CLD (CAPPA), SBD
My daughter had a very poorly managed labor and a very traumatic c-section delivery with her 1st child, which left her with PTSD and needing counseling. Naturally when she announced her 2nd pregnancy, we were concerned about her and her new baby’s well-being, both physically and emotionally. My daughter researched doulas, and MaryBeth’s name came up. I was familiar with her name and had heard good things about her, but had never met her. Our first meeting with her allayed any fears we might have had about using a doula. MaryBeth is such a nice person—experienced and reassuring, and able to explain things so well. During my daughter’s recent labor, MaryBeth was there, advocating for my daughter to make sure her birth plan was followed as much as possible, trying everything she could to assist my daughter in her desire to try a v-back delivery. When it was clear that another c-section was necessary, MaryBeth was allowed to go into the OR with them to comfort, reassure, explain, and even take pictures. As a mother, this allowed me to relax more, knowing my daughter was in good hands, and that I could just be “mom”, and not “mom and nurse” for her. Knowing also that MaryBeth has such a good rapport with the other staff members was definitely reassuring, and seeing them working together in my daughter and her baby’s best interest was wonderful. Anyone who might be considering using a doula for their labor and delivery would get my highest recommendation for MaryBeth Nance. Thank you, MaryBeth, for a wonderful experience!
