Testimonial for Mary-Lou Crossley, CD/PCD(DONA)
It's hard to know what to expect when it comes to delivering a child, especially for first-time parents, which we were. Even the most carefully thought out birth plan can change in a hurry. In our case, things deviated when we went beyond our due date, resulting in a decision to go with induction.
There was a brief moment in the hospital when, with the induction, we thought that, because we'd have two nurses on hand, there would be little left for Mary-Lou to do. Boy, were we wrong.
Without going into the details, there were complications, some quite frightening. The hospital's medical team was super busy and we leaned heavily on Mary-Lou to tie things together and provide perspective on what was going on. Complications extended beyond delivery and we were grateful for Mary-Lou's guidance on post-partum care.
In general, we found that the medical system had us dealing with many medical professionals, but none of whom who could tie everything together and help us navigate the process. That's where Mary-Lou shined, helping us keep our heads through a challenging situation and providing perspective on what was going on around us.
So thank-you, Mary-Lou. We whole-heartedly recommend your services.
