Testimonial for Dawn Oliver CDI(TDA)
I cannot say enough good things about our opportunity to work with Dawn. We worked with her to prepare for labor and delivery and for five nights of overnight care when we came home from the hospital. We were navigating a move from California to South Carolina for a lot of our pregnancy and she was an absolute saint about helping us to prepare, being flexible with scheduling and making sure we were ready. We felt so much more confident knowing she was going to be with us. As someone who struggled to maintain a pregnancy and was considered a "geriatric pregnancy," having someone so knowledgeable on our side made all the difference in calming our nerves. When my due date came and went, Dawn was supportive and helped us talk through all our options. When I labored for 24 hours (with her CHAMPION support) and only got to 7 centimeters, Dawn was there to listen and guide us. We wound up having an emergency C-section and Dawn was comforting and a pillar of strength when we were incredibly worried. Two days after our son was born, I was finally released from the hospital. I was home for less than 24 hours when I had a series of eclampsia seizures that the doctors had not warned us were a possibility because I had such a healthy pregnancy. I was rushed back to the hospital and was able to have my husband by my side because Dawn and my in-laws were home caring for our newborn son. We had no idea when we contracted with her how crazy this journey would be but she never wavered and made all of it manageable. We still text Dawn updates about our son, as we all consider her part of our extended family. Again, if you have any opportunity to work with her, we cannot recommend it highly enough.
