Testimonial for Laura DePasquale, CD(DONA)

Many of our friends had used Laura at their births and said they could not have done it without her. I now understand why. my husband and I took her classes on breastfeeding and natural childbirth. These classes eased my fears of birth and made me feel very educated going into the hospital on what to expect and what to ask for etc. All the techniques she had taught in class helped me through labor. My childbirth experience however was not how I had planned. I had read all the books and felt very prepared for a natural childbirth, hoping to do a waterbirth. However, my little guy did not have the same plans on entering this world :). I labored for 30 + hours after an induction. I had no Progress and eventually needed a csection to meet my 11lb son (we had no idea he was going to be that big :)). The day was not how I had planned or expected. Laura however was a literal lifesaver. She helped me with positions and helped me to feel like I did everything possible to have him naturally. She helped me keep my composure and most of all made me feel safe. She was a rock for my husband and I through the entire labor and even came into the OR with us to photograph my sons birth. I cannot imagine how the entire process would have gone without Laura’s calm presence and knowledge. We cannot Recommend her enough, she is now a big part of our story and of our family.
