When I arrived at the hospital, I was already 8 cm dilated and in a lot of pain. I was hoping to have an unmedicated birth, but I was losing steam and feeling unsure of myself. Doni was positive and kind and made me feel seen and understood during and after my labor/delivery. Doni supported and encouraged me through contractions and pushing. I felt cared for and validated in both my pain and my ability to meet my goal of having an unmedicated birth. I ended up delivering without an epidural and Doni was a big part of making that possible. Doni is the kind of nurse every new mom needs. She is warm, supportive, and knowledgeable
