Testimonial for Roseanne Ebert CD(DONA)
Hiring Roseanne was one of the best decisions I could have made. As an anxious person, I wanted to surround myself with a great team of people and knew that working with a doula would help alleviate some of my stress and questions about my labor. We spoke after several OB appointments about how baby and I were doing and any concerns I had. When we met weeks before my due date, the relationship felt natural and like I had known her for years. I wanted to go into labor naturally but after I was past my due date, she supported me when I chose to get induced. We texted during early labor and when I couldn’t get comfortable and knew it was time for help, she was there in minutes. She helped me find different positions for labor, encouraged me to walk down the hallway and rock on the birthing ball. Roseanne showed my husband things he could do and make him feel a part of the process without making him feel like she was taking over. And while my nurses were amazing, having Roseanne in the room with me the whole time calmed me and made me feel cared for every single minute. I labored for about 10 hours and all night long we chatted which helped to distract me from the pain and pass the time until I was ready to push. She suggested new positions that helped and was the positive voice that I needed when I felt like I couldn’t push any longer. When my daughter was born, my husband announced whether we had a boy or a girl which was another of Roseanne’s suggestions. I held my daughter for a couple of minutes before the nurses took her to the nursery to help her breath. My husband left with our daughter and Roseanne stayed at my side. I am forever grateful to her for everything she did for me during my labor but especially for sitting with me in the middle of the night after a long day when I was all alone and waiting for my daughter. I couldn’t imagine that day without her!
