Testimonial for Ines Serna, MS,CCCE,CD(DONA)
Having known Ines for well over 3 years prior to our birthing experience, I had no idea the role she'd play during my first childbirth experience. We had a feeling my daughter would come early. Ines had made herself available to me throughout my entire pregnancy, and I felt comfortable knowing I had her support. She was one of the first to know! Something inside of me has always felt at peace whenever she's near me, and I feel comfortable with her in any setting! She just brings that out of you, so caring, so sweet. As time went on my belly grew, and oh did I say we grew?! lol.. Finally the day came! I remember having contractions and not being able to retain my urine, and I call Ines. I am very silly.. she knows this. She asks me the usual questions, and of course I have no idea about a mucuos plug is supposed to look like, etc. The day went on and on, I kept her updated. My contractions grew closer, and I continued to go about my day. She told me to make sure I ate because she had a strong feeling I'd have to go to the hospital tonight or by the morning to give birth. By 1 am we went to the hospital and within 45 mins later she was there. We prayed. She massaged me. We did COUNTLESS, I mean COUNTLESS COMFORTING positions, tried everything. Ines, you're an angel. I made it to 7.5cm dilated without an epidural! That day she was my coach, my angel, my comforter, my rock, aiding my husband and me. It is a day that I will never forget! She marked my life and my daughter's life forever. As I write this a tear falls down my cheek, just recalling those wondeful, glorious childbirthing hours while she was right by my side. She did anything, everything possible & I thank God for him placing me in Ines's hands. After 14.5 hours we delievered a beautiful and healthy babygirl. I am forever grateful for the most beautiful childbirth memory. I told her to get ready because in 3 years - I'll be needing her again, haha! We love you Ines. -Crystal, Reina, & Rashad xo
