Testimonial for Patrycja (Patty) Drozd CD(DONA)
This was out first baby and we really had no idea what to expect. We decided to hire Patty as recommended by a friend, that way we would have someone guiding us during labor. I’m so glad that we did because she did so much more than just guide us. During labor Patty was there working with both of us trying every position possible to get our baby to move since she was stuck in a posterior position. Throughout all of this she was there doing hip squeezes, talking me through the contractions and my breathing, offering encouragement, and literally letting me lean on her.
There were several times during labor that the doctor tried to persuade us that a c-section was necessary but Patty was there to prepare us for that conversation. She helped to remind us of our wishes and how to navigate around the doctor trying to pressure us into it. It was only because of her help and guidance that I was still able to deliver our baby vaginally. Had she not been there it would’ve no doubt been a totally different outcome. There was so much more that she helped us with both during labor and long before that both my husband and I are so grateful that we had her there along our journey. Even the nurses in labor & delivery commented on how wonderful and helpful she had been. If we end up having anymore kids I would be more than happy to have Patty there with us again
