Testimonial for Laura DePasquale, CD(DONA)
COVID has in many ways defined a number of our experiences in 2020. However, this is also the year when I delivered my first baby at age 37. I always wanted a doula and was fortunate enough that NJ allowed doulas to be present a few weeks before my due date. A close friend referred Laura to my husband and I. She listened to both of our perspectives and asked us many questions that we would have never considered. Laura ensured we were both prepared for that day. While I was in active labor, I could hear my husband advocate for me and ask the right questions that we practiced with Laura during our birthing classes. Labor is unique for all of us and the pain was blinding; however, I knew Laura was there for my husband and I and she was comforting me as we waited for the time to push my baby into this world. I was confident that I could deliver my baby vaginally and Laura empowered my husband and I with the necessary tools for that day. Thank you Laura for being there with us and meeting my baby on our special day.
