Testimonial for Maida Ford CD(DONA)
Maida was great from the get go. When we met Maida, it made sense that we may actually need her. She was very clear and my husband and I were very at ease. We were late in asking her for help, and she made everything work out so that the process would still be manageable. When we chatted about the birthing plan, she made sure that we followed through. My baby was late and when I almost went along with what was suggested by the nurse and doctors, Maida reminded me that that was not what I wanted. I am so glad that we followed through with our original birth plan. Maida was able to reassure me, calm me down, and just make things run smoothly. She was able to answer any interesting questions either by calling or texting help process. The main thing was that she reminded us that she was there as a support person and that she if she didn't know the answer, she would do the best to help us out. When it came time for me contractions to arrive, she helped make sure that I relax and go through without thinking too much. She was able to give us stretches, movements and other ways to work with our baby. Maida was always calm and collected which made everything run smoothly. Thankfully we were able to have her at the hospital, and she worked really well with the nurses and doctors. For the counting, she was right there and kept everything steady, which is what I needed. After the delivery, she stayed for a bit to make sure that we were ok. Maida came over to visit us 2 to 3 weeks after the delivery and was able to make sure that we were OK and answer any follow-up questions. I wasn't so successful with the baby wrap, so she was able to help me out in person and even sent out extra links to help me out. Maida was genuine, informative, calm, and I'm very important support person in our birth of our son. We are very grateful to have had Maida's help for this very important time of our life.
