Testimonial for Rosie Peterson

My wife and I were first time parents, with no family in the San Diego area and decided that we could really use a Doula to help us with some late, pre-natal and hands on care, during our delivery.  By the grace of God, we found Rosie. 

We had done everything in our power to ensure that we were going to have the type of birth that we had dreamed of.  From hypnobirthing, to one of the few water birth facilities in North America, we were all set to have a wonderful, alternative birth experience.  Something happened on the way towards achieving our ideal.  My wife couldn't dilate any further after twenty hours of contractions.  We eventually had to scrap our plans to have  water birth and go directly to a hospital.  Rosie was with us, every step of the way, helping us transition from our litttle water bubble world to a regular hospital, comforting us with our dissapointment.  While the doctors debated as to whether my wife would get a C-section, Rosie, myself and the lead nurse breathed and pushed along with my wife over and over again, as my wife finally dilated enough for doctor to bring our child into the world without the C-section.  Rosie was a great source of strength and provided us with ample experience as we welcomed our little boy.

She was invaluable.
