Testimonial for Jessica Meeds, CBD
I cannot recommend Jessica more highly. My husband and I keep saying our investment in her was EASILY one of the best investments we've made as a couple. We immediately felt comfortable working with Jessica, and she offered really helpful resources in advance of the birth during our two prenatal visits, including stretches, breathing exercises, birth plan guidance, research on interventions, etc. And then as we approached labor, she was incredibly responsive via text. When I started experiencing contractions late at night, she responded immediately and walked us through when to go to the hospital - things were moving so fast that she met us there rather than coming to our house as planned.
At the hospital, she was a huge help to both of us. Even though we had done birth prep classes, it was overwhelming in the moment since things were happening so fast and hard to recall all the different coping mechanisms and things to ask the doctors/nurses. So having a 3rd party there to advocate on behalf of my birth preferences and help both of us navigate pain management was INVALUABLE. We both felt so much more confident in decisions we had to make along the way. Jessica offered me reassurance about how things were unfolding, and I was able to have the unmedicated birth I wanted because I felt so supported.
We also were on the fence about whether we wanted birth photos - it just wasn't something important to me. That said, now that we have them, I will cherish these photos forever. I didn't expect to have so many gaps in my memory from the birth experience, and it was so healing and powerful to go back through the photos with my husband a few weeks later to debrief on the experience and help me remember how things went. Jessica really has an artistic eye!
I will be recommending Jessica to everyone I know. Thank you for helping me have a positive birth experience!
