Testimonial for Sara Epstein CD(DONA), CLC
Words cannot describe how blessed I was to have Sara by my side during the birth of our son. I chose Sara about a month before our due date. She was such a sweetheart to meet with us on such short notice and put together our birth plan. I had plans for a natural birth and we met as a family to go over how we would work together to acheive this.
Our baby was over two weeks overdue and Sara helped talk me through natural options for induction per my wishes. This helped move things along, however we did have to go into the hospital for medical induction 2 days before Thanksgiving. We started slow and Sara came in the next morning and stayed almost three days with us! Sara is the Mary Poppins of labor and delivery bringing a bag of supplies to help me stay calm, nourished, and feeling strong. Her and my husband worked seamlessly together between contractions to keep me comfortable. We were one big family together sharing laughter and tears as the marathon of our labor persisted.
She missed Thanksgiving with her family to be by our sides. We tried to send her home on Thanksgiving to be with her family and she didn't even think twice about staying with us. If Sara was not there, I might still be trying to push out an OP baby! Her expertise saved me from having a c-section by directing a room full of practitioners to reposition our son for safe delivery. Immediately after our son was born Sara helped us make skin to skin contact and initiate his first latch. It was amazing having Sara's support in the postnatal period to help me exclusively breastfeed our son and check in on us. She is a true angel and her knowledge as a mother and years as a practitioner make for a great addition to the journey of childbirth and beyond.
