Testimonial for Roberta Froese
What a joy to have Roberta as a labour and delivery support as well as post partum support for our 2nd child's entrance and early weeks.Roberta is kind, personable, a wealth of knowledge and experience, trustworthy, and a clear and available communicator.
This pregnancy and labour and delivery (an induction due to gestational diabetes) was more emotionally exhausting and Roberta has been such an encouragement, great listening ear, and able to be the consistent care person amidst a sea of healthcare providers I was seeing.
She thoughtfully brought a book about the new baby for our older child upon a prenatal visit, and read with her. Our toddler looks forward to Roberta's visits too!
She came to the first stage of induction upon request, as moral support when we felt overwhelmed by information and making decisions.
Once admitted in hospital throughout labour, she offered suggestions of rest in early labour, a walk, birthing positions, massage, liquids both food and drink, and ample encouragement.
This birth was a lot more intense than my first, but Roberta was a calm and supportive encourager for me and my partner throughout. We couldn't have asked for a better support!
Post partum support has been great, both practically with some food (delicious lactation cookies!), and conversation space for me to process the labour and delivery. Emotional support hero!
Looking forward to some more post partum care shifts with our favourite doula, Roberta!
