Testimonial for Becky Rohrback CD(DONA) SBD
WOW where do I begin? I am a birth/postpartum doula and childbirth educator myself. I was pregnant with my third and unexpectedly transplanted in MD due to pregnancy complications while on vacation. I was worried about finding a quality doula for myself. Being as I am a doula I had a big cup for my potential doula to fill. I made many phone calls, and from my very first encounter with Becky I was almost certain she would be my doula. We clicked right away, and felt like I was on the phone with an old friend. She went out of her way to meet with us, and even suffered through my husbands militant style interrogation (He's in the Navy and just a question person anyways). After contracting Becky, she was very accommodating to our financial needs, and very intuitive of our special circumstances. I had a very complicated pregnancy due to pre term labor, preclampsia, kidney disease, and placental abruption which landed me in the hospital on bed rest. Becky was always there to listen and never overbearing when I just needed space. She helped me so much in dealing with the loss of my "ideal birth plan". When my placenta finally started giving up Becky rushed to the hospital to be with us, even though she was in the process of moving into her new home. She even grabbed some stuff we forgot along the way. I was induced (which was NOT in my birth plan). Becky was supportive and helped me through the very different experience of being induced (my other two were easy, unmedicated, fast deliveries). She always knew just what to say to lighten the room when we got nervous, calmed me when things weren't progressing, and was very attentive to my physical comfort. The best part was that she encouraged my husband to play a very active role which was important to me. She never took his place, but instead they were a harmonious team…To be continued
