Testimonial for Susan Rotman, AAHCC, CD(DONA)
My husband and I first met Susan at our Bradley Birthing Course where she was our instructor. From the beginning of our pregnancy, we knew we wanted to have an unmedicated birth but desired to do so in a hospital setting. I also felt strongly that my husband and I would be the only people in the delivery room during our birth. After much consideration, my husband and I decided that it would be helpful to have Susan serve as a Doula during our birth to provide extra support. I can honestly say that it was the best decision we made! Susan met with us prior to our birth to talk through our wants/needs and what her role would be during labor. She was extremely open to being as involved as we wanted but was also willing to stand back and only assist when needed. During my labor at home, we contacted Susan multiple times for advice and guidance. She then met us at the hospital when we arrived and never left my side. Susan was so helpful in suggesting positions and movements to help with pain management. She not only provided support to me but also encouraged and reassured my husband. In addition, she was key in helping to manage hospital staff. Susan was vital to our success in accomplishing our goal of an unmedicated birth. Her knowledge, emotional and physical support were crucial for both my husband and I. To anyone considering a Doula for their delivery I would highly recommend Susan Rotman.
