Testimonial for Becky Rohrback CD(DONA) SBD
Becky is amazing!! Being pregnant and giving birth with our first child during COVID adds a new layer of stress but having her by our side really put my husband and I at ease. She really took the time to get to know our personalities and needs, was NEVER pushy with any birthing techniques or plans, and truly supported us in every way possible. She is so responsive, proactive and coached me through the late hours and early morning when I went into labor. Thanks to our plan and talking through my contractions and symptoms I was able to remain in the comfort of my own home for many hours before I went into active labor and needed to go to the hospital.
Of course the support during pregnancy and labor was phenomenal but having her with me through my early postpartum months was crucial. The first week I felt like I was pretty confident but when our baby started to have some digestive and sleep issues all of that confidence quickly fell apart. Becky was there to save the day and provided the much needed emotional and educational support for our family. Once again, she was always there to listen, absorb and worked with us as part of our team to come up with a plan instead of just jumping to an out of the box solution like so many other people do. I still remember a few times when I was overcomplicating things related to what I was trying with our baby and she would say, in the most kind way ever, “How do you feel about trying XYZ first”. And I would look at her and just laugh because when you’re in the thick of it sometimes you just need someone like Becky to ground you and remind you of a simple solution that was right there the whole time :) Also notice how she would ask how I felt about the approach instead of throwing things over the fence and saying "do this". LOVE that about Becky. She gave me the confidence in those early weeks and months that I desperately needed and I cannot thank her enough.
