Testimonial for Laura DePasquale, CD(DONA)
I'm a very happy mother of a 3 month old! I gave birth in December 2019 with the support and care of Laura. She was absolutely amazing to me and my husband. She met with us before giving birth to connect and educate us on the birthing process. I was extremely NERVOUS to give birth and Laura empowered me and believed in me the WHOLE way through. My labor experience began at night and I remember vididly seeing Laura right at the hospital doors waiting to continue the labor party! She knew the ins/outs of Morristown Hospital - like where to get the ginger ale which I needed to stay hydrated. She knew which birthing rooms had a labor tub (which is what I wanted). She coached me through each contraction and rubbed my hips (for hours)! I labored for 16 hours and pushed for 4 hours. Our baby was not ready to come out so in the end we did opt for a c-section. Laura looked me in the eyes and congratulated me for doing such a wonderful job and even though I was getting a c-section (which I was down about - grateful for it but just was not expecting it) she kept saying what I great job I did and was doing. Laura will be there day or night for you and I wish new mommies and 2nd/3rd time mommies the opportunity to work with Laura. I can't thank her enough.
