Testimonial for MaryBeth Nance, AdvCD (DONA), CLD (CAPPA), SBD

MaryBeth was an amazing doula.  I had a quick, natural labor with my first so I was not sure I would need a doula for help with the birth of my second child.  But I was so glad we hired MaryBeth.  To prepare we had an excelllent family meeting where my husband and I explained our concerns and MaryBeth set up an excellent birth plan.  She also provided us with some Hypnobirth techniques to work on to help prepapre for a drug-free delivery.  I was 3 days late with my second and MAryBeth was so encouraging and helpful.  She contacted me frequently before and after my due date and was reassuring.  I had a few false alarms and MaryBeth helped me navigate through those as well so I was not running to the hospital with every contraction.  Once I was actually in labor MaryBeth was an amazing help.  My husband and I were experiencing our first birth together since he was away with the military when our first was born.  She was so helpful in explaining what was going on to my husband and continued to assist him in helping me through labor.  We had a hard time getting my labor to progress and MaryBeth was fantastic in coming up with plans to help push things along.  I was especially concerned about interventions but MAryBeth ensured I was only doing what was necessary to help the labor progress.  I was especially concerned when the midwife suggested using pitocin to help labor progress.  I had heard so many terrible things and was very nervous.  MaryBeth explained that we would just use it to help the contractions become more regular.  It worked exactly like she said and I was finally having regulalr productive contractions.  She provided such amazing assistance throughout the night and was an invaluable resource during the process.  We both credit MaryBeth with helping us have an amazing brith experience with our second child!
