Dorothy had a HUGE impact for my VBAC, I don't know that I could have done it without her. Throughout pregnancy she was attentive and communicative, especially when I went past my due date and had to balance the stress of waiting and considering induction. She talked me through every step and helped me find peace and patience until natural labor started 11 days late, the day before the scheduled induction! During labor she was my rock, a confident and soothing presence both in my home and in the hospital. She engaged me with all my comfort measures, added massage and counterpressure, and offered helpful suggestions at all the right times. I remained unmedicated, and when the feelings were intense enough to make me start to lose it, she always pulled me right back in to focus with her confident reassurance and encouragement. She checked in with me frequently postpartum and helped me feel so cared for, holistically. The fact that she was so compassionate and involved before, during, and after my birth has made the experience go much more smoothly. She has helped me find strength and confidence through all these challenging transitions. I'm so thankful for Dorothy!
