Testimonial for Dasha Litvinov CD(DONA) Doula & CCCE Childbirth Educator
My husband and I hired Dasha late in my pregnancy. I’m an older mom and have had only c-sections in the past and really wanted an unmedicated vaginal delivery. I knew we’d need the extra support. I wanted to hire a doula but wasn’t comfortable hiring just anyone. I asked my doctor for recommendations and Dasha was one of the very few she recommended.
And we were so fortunate that Dasha was available! She is so sweet and made us feel comfortable from the start. So many things came up during labor and the day leading up to it. I got to ask Dasha all my questions and concerns before the big day and she was able to walk me through and help me understand my options and make me feel confident with my choices. During labor she was there to help with alternative pain-relief options and respected my desire for an unmedicated birth. I did get my vaginal delivery but I ended up wanting medicated pain relief toward the end. And although Dasha gently reminded me of my desire for unmedicated birth, she did not make me feel bad for changing my mind. She really was an amazing support person. I can’t list all the ways she helped us before, during and after labor. Her experience gave her the ability to anticipate a lot of my needs before I even knew I’d have them.
We just had an overall great experience with Dasha and would recommend her to any mama and dad wanting support during labor!
