Testimonial for Lori O'Connor CD(DONA)
Pros: I had a great experience with Lori. She is a great listener and gave me a lot of attention as I was proceeding towards my delivery. Her and I worked on my birthing plan and she was all ears and open to suggestions with some positions that would help meet my goal in having a vaginal birth. She checked up on me regularly as I got closer to my delivery date and made sure I was feeling fine. During birth, Lori stayed by my bed throughout and provided me comfort and spoke words of encouragement. She listened to me carefully and provided me the support I dreamed of. She gave me massages, setup the room with dimmed lights and brought her diffuser (of my choice) along with a speaker to keep the atmosphere calm and relaxed just like I wanted. For deep dive questions at the moment of having contractions I relied heavily on my Midwife and Kept Lori in the loop as to what was happening and she provided me guidance on what to expect. She took photos and videos of my birth and now I look back at them and feel so glad that she did. After postpartum, she stopped by to check on me and my son...we chatted for hours. I would recommend Lori to an expecting mom to build a relationship with Lori so she can understand your needs and meet them as you progress towards your delivery. She is an empath who loves helping others.
Cons: Doula certification document needs to be ready at the time of delivery to be allowed in the delivery room.
