Testimonial for Meredith Markussen, CD(DONA)
Meredith was amazing, not just for me, but also for my husband. Before labor, she regularly checked on me via text or phone, and always answered any questions I had. Her tips to help sooth general aches were always appreciated. My due date came and went but Meredith was always positive and kept us focused on walking, stretching, and relaxing. When i went into labor, Meredith was right there with us all day checking in via text. If at any point we had wanted her to join us a home, she would have been there! At some point during the day, my husband began texting her and giving her updates on how I was doing. She met us at the hospital about 20 minutes after we got there. Her skill at reading a laboring mom is amazing. Before I wcould even say that I wanted to change positons, she knew and had already planned out the next move. She helped guide my husband through counter pressure and confirming his instincts when he was suppoting me physically. Meredith's expereince as a nurse puts her in a great position in a hospital setting and is able to talk to the staff with ease. If anything arose, she was able to explain what the hospital staff was asking for and was willing to help us weigh our options. Meredith is a huge part of our baby's birth story. I can't imagine giving birth without her.
