Testimonial for Caroline Overby, CD(DONA)/PCD(DONA), CLC
Words can't express my gratitude for having Caroline by our side throughout the birth of our first child. As a partner I was nervous about so many things going into this experience. How to comfort my wife throughout the process, what to expect at the hospital, and most importantly, how to get through the birth and those few days immediately following. Caroline provided experienced, non-judgemental care and practical advice that alleviated my fears and gave us the confidence that we needed to get through the difficult moments and find joy along the way.
We opted for two prenatal home visits that helped us feel prepared for anything that might come our way. Caroline walked us through pre-labor exercises and made sure I felt comfortable with what to expect. She helped us write up a birth plan custom-suited to our preferences that we would eventually share with our OB and hospital staff - it was clear everyone was appreciative of her presence.
I truly believe Caroline had a measurable impact during labor. She checked in periodically in the days leading up to our hospital visit and arrived just when we asked. She stayed through the night and kept a constant eye on my wife, helping adjust her positions and communicate with the doctors and nurses. Labor went smoothly and swiftly and when our baby arrived, she gave us the space we needed to enjoy our little one for the first time. Caroline's follow-up visit at our home was invaluable, helping us with details like swaddling, nursing, and things to look out for in the coming weeks
I can't imagine going through this process without Caroline and I'm so happy we chose her as our doula. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced and caring guide for their birth and post-partum experience.
