I was drifting back and forth between sleep, and every time I'd wake, she was there to let me know what was happening.
I was admitted and went through a couple of nurses before delivering as a surrogate. Donnabell stayed positive and joked around with me. The birth turned traumatic, and she stayed by my side. When I asked questions, she would answer, and when I needed help, she was there. I was drifting back and forth between sleep, and every time I'd wake, she was there to let me know what was happening. I feel I owe my life to Donnabell, the midwife, and Dr. Y. There were approximately 20 medical staff in the room with me- they are all amazing and I am so grateful to them.
