Testimonial for Jill Thompson CLD, IBI
I met Jill when the company I worked for aquired the company she worked for. She came over to learn more about the systems we use, and I told her I was 20 or so weeks along. We got to talking and she offered to do our classes for us. A short time later I went to a baby shower event at the hospital where I was to deliver and talked to a doula there. I didn't feel that this doula was a match for me but liked what a doula stood for. So I asked Jill if she would be interested in being our doula. From our very first class I knew Jill would make sure I would get the birth as close to what I wanted as possible. She asked me what I wanted and that was it. Never once did she push her views of anything on me. She answered any crazy question I had.
The day of our last classs my water broke at 3:00 am. She answered the phone right away and answered all my husband's and my questions. She put us at ease right away about the situation. She did have to work her other job that day but was available by text and phone through out the day and came right over after she got off. She stayed the entire night with us and really helped me stay calm through the whole thing. She keep our family updated in the waiting room and helped calm our nerves when things weren't moving along as fast as they should have. We were told twice that we might have to have a c-section which is something I really did not want. Her knowlege of everything going on was helpful and we ended up with a vaginal delievery 24 hours after my water broker. She took pictures for us and make sure I was taken care of with the repair and a bit after and then let us have our time together as a new family of 3. I really don't think my birth experience would have been the same with out her and for that I am greatful. I truely think I would have ended up with a c-section with out her.
