Testimonial for Christa Joy Kirtland, CD(DONA), C-CBE
My husband and I keep saying over and over again, "we could never have done this without Christa." After a c-section with my first baby I knew that I wanted to try for a vaginal birth. Leading up to my labor and delivery, Christa encouraged me to ask my provider questions to ensure that they were supportive of me having a vbac (vaginal birth after cesearean) and after determining that they weren't, she encouraged me to switch providers to someone that was. Since I hadn't even labored with my first born, I was nervous that my body wouldn't be able to handle the pain of delivery but Christa was nothing but supportive, knowledgable and encouraging in all of my doubts (both prior to delivery and during delivery). During my long and exhausting delivery, Christa was my advocate and knowledgable of different laboring positions I could try. As I said before, all of these things are those in which neither my husband or myself would know or think to do without the expertise and knowledge of Christa. We cannot thank her enough for her support, knowledge and encouragement pre, during and post delivery!
