Testimonial for Dannah Norris
Dannah was incredible to work with! We matched with Dannah through Swedish Health Services' doula program and worked with her for both birth and postpartum. We met with Dannah three times before the birth, and she was incredible at providing information about pregnancy, birthing, and newborn decisions and care. She also provided tons of information between meetings. Dannah listened to our concerns and wishes for the birth, set realistic expectations for us, and helped draft a birth preferences document. Our son arrived a week early and a few things did not go as we had hoped, including pain medications taking a long time to kick in. While the pain medication was slowly catching up, Dannah helped me to shift positions to alleviate the pain I felt, and helped me and my husband remain calm. During delivery Dannah showed my husband how to support me physically so he could be more involved in the birthing process. We had an incredible birth experience overall, and much of that we credit to Dannah. She remained with us for the entire birth process, and stayed after to ensure we were adjusting well. Dannah also provided us with postpartum support in the form of overnight visits which allowed us to both get some rest, but also pick her brain about any questions that came up around newborn and postpartum care. We loved working with Dannah, and would highly recommend her to anyone.
