Testimonial for Shannon Serrano, CD(DONA)
Shannon was my doula for my third child. After having a very challenging delivery and hospital experience with my first child, I knew that I wanted to have a professional for my second child. I chose a doula that helped educate me and helped me navigate through many pre and postnatal decisions. For my third child, I had to find a new doctor (after 20 years with the same OB practice) and a new doula. I interviewed a couple of OBs and settled with a practice that seemed good. After several OB visits, I wasn't confident that the doctors would represent my best interests during labor. So I sought out and hired Shannon during my last trimester. She advised me and gave me the confidence to leave the OB practice and work with a midwife. I was lucky to be able to secure a midwife in my 38th week. On the day I went into labor, Shannon arrived at the hospital and walked with me to get my contractions going. When things really started to get serious, Shannon took control of the room. She helped me get into a comfortable delivery position, supported me through the process and cheered me on until my son was born. She even got to cut the cord! I'm not sure what my experience would have been like without having Shannon in my corner, so I'm super grateful she was there to support me through all of my decisions before and on the day of labor.
