Testimonial for Maria Luisa Dangond
We absolutely love Maria and feel very lucky we got to work with her. She is knowledgeable, attentive, thoughtful and calm. She guided me and my partner throughout the pregnancy, the birth, and postpartum.
Pregnancy:
Maria helped me realize what's important for me for the birth experience, and helped me find and switch to the provider I felt most comfortable with. She was always available to answer questions, gave us great recommendations (my favorite was her recommended books!), and often times gave us advice on what to ask doctors/midwife so we can be confident in our decision making.
Birth:
I went into labor on the day my midwife was away and had to work with a backup midwife that I’ve never met before. Everything happened very quickly too and by the time the midwife came, the baby was already crowning. It could've been a very stressful situation, but I felt confident and calm having Maria besides me the entire time.
Postpartum
She checked in frequently and provided guidance until I was doing okay with the recovery and adjusting to being a mother. As she did during the pregnancy, she had lots of great recommendations that helped me get through the first month of breastfeeding. I also appreciated Maria for continuing to be a great advocate for me when much of the attention had shifted to the baby after birth.
