Testimonial for Melissa M. Imperato CD(DONA)
I don't know what I would have done without Melissa! I hired her very early on in my pregnancy and she was always there to answer every question I had, which was about a million. She was always checking up on me and keeping up with all my appointments and really just being supportive the entire nine months. When it came to the birth of my son we had a very interesting experience! I had a very rapid labor and she coached me through each contraction. She was firm when I needed her to be; I'm not sure I would have left my bathroom floor if she hadn't made me! But she also kept me comfortable and was ready for anything whether I had decided to take a walk or a nap, whatever it may be. On our way to the birth center I had trouble getting into th car, at which point my baby was born onto the front seat! I immediately thought he was going to die but Melissa was cool in a crisis, called 911, helped my husband pull th baby up and kept everything under control. I honesty don't know what we would have done if she hadn't been there and I would hire her again in a heartbeat. She was also a great option for me because my husband works far from home so she was able to labor with me so I wouldn't have to be alone. Not knowing what to expect, this was definitely a comfort.
