Testimonial for Sarah Osborne, CD(DONA)
To sum up my experience with Sarah in one word it would be PRICELESS! She was there for me in a way that really cannot be explained, But I will try :) I decided to Hire Sarah as my doula because my husband's job ended up taking him far away from home five days out of the week, So I knew I was going to need MAJOR support given the chance that I went into labor during the week and he wouldn't be able to make it home in time... The unique thing is that I had a scheduled Repeat C-section , I ended up going into labor early, on the Tuesday morning before my c- section ( scheduled for the following Monday) and Sarah was by my side the whole Journey. She was there as emotional support as I had to call my husband and let him know and face the fact that he wasn't going to be there when our daughter was born... She took extra care to make sure I stayed calm and was an extra set of hands keeping a watchful eye on our four and a half year old daughter... I had a basic birth plan... C-section.... but I was very adimate about trying to breast feed and Sarah was there as an advocate to let all the doctors and nurses know what I wanted and made sure they didn't supplement her with anything not even a binky... that alone was priceless...I truly believe because of this I was successful and now am breast feeding full time and I am happy to say my daughter has never needed to be supplemented with formula! ... However I must say the most priceless thing of all is the wonderful memories and special moments she was able to capture on film ... They are truly a blessing to my husband and I. They are able to give him the feeling that he was there and for that we will always be thankful. We cannot thank her enough for being there It was not only a support to me but also it gave him a peace of mind know that She was with me and that he knew I was in the most capable hands!
Love
The Whole Hotchkiss Family!
