Testimonial for Sara Krivanec, CD(DTI), CLC, CCLS
On April 3rd 2020, my wife, Keshia, and I welcomed our first baby, Zoé, into the world. From our very first meeting with Sara I knew she was the right doula for us. She has a very warm and calming nature. When I was 29 weeks pregnant I got diagnosed with GD. Sara was there to reassure me and decrease my anxiety. She guided me to a very helpful book and I was able to control the GD with just my diet for the rest of my pregnancy.
Prior to L&D Sara sat down with us to talk about our birth plan. She was very dedicated in supporting us and our plan. However, things don't always go as planned haha. I had an extremely long predromal labor and my cervix was not dilating. Every time I called her crying she answered with a calming voice. With her vast knowledge she was able to suggest why I wasn't dilating. When my OB was not listening to my concerns Sara enouraged me to continue to advocate for myself and seek help with the midwives at Henrico Doctors Hospital.
During the delivery Sara suggested different positions for pushing that helped to turn Zoé to allow for a successful vaginal delivery. After I had her she was there for me for lactation and emotional support. I couldn't have imagined the journey without Sara there. She is definitely someone you want to have by your side!!
