Testimonial for Christa Duquette CD(DONA), SBD, HCHD
Christa came highly recommended to us and we were able to meet with her very early on in our pregnancy. We had a great medical team throughout our pregnancy but it was such a relief to know we would have someone supporting us emotionally and mentally as well.
We both had difficult work schedules and could not make a traditional prenatal group class work with our schedules so we signed up for a private class with Christa and it was so helpful. It really prepared us for all the stages of labour. She helped us consider what we would and would not like to happen ahead of time while still remaining flexible.
Even though I went into labour three and a half weeks early, with Christa’s support and guidance I was able to labour at home for quite awhile and had a very positive experience with the actual delivery. I felt very prepared for the delivery and felt fully supported during it. Our January baby ended up being an early Christmas present. Even though it was over the holidays I knew we had Christa’s support and attention throughout the whole experience and could reach out to her any time during our hospital stay and transition home.
The postpartum visit came at the perfect time and it was so nice for us to have someone to relive the day with who had actually been there and to have someone that we could ask some basic questions to. They may have seemed like small and random questions, but they were things we hadn’t thought of before baby came, and being first time parents, we just didn’t know some of the answers.
It also feels very special that we have photos of the whole experience that we can look back on.
We could not imagine this experience without Christa and highly recommend her to any soon to be parents.
