Testimonial for MaryBeth Nance, AdvCD (DONA), CLD (CAPPA), SBD

MaryBeth was a wonderful support before, during, and after our son’s birth. The final month of pregnancy was stressful due to the possibility that my baby might be large. The midwives told us about the complications that could occur during a vaginal birth and we had to decide if a C-section would be a safer option . MaryBeth consulted with the midwives and made recommendations to us. I felt I could trust MaryBeth's advice because of her experience and her familiarity with the midwives. It was obvious the midwives had a high level of respect for her and were comfortable discussing their concerns with her. I chose to try to give birth to my son naturally and did so without any complications. The feeling that she believed in me helped me keep an optimistic attitude! During labor, MaryBeth was very helpful with pain management and decision making. After my son was born she gave me great advice regarding an injury to my abdominal muscles when I really didn’t know where to go for more information.
