Testimonial for Jennifer Mendelson
As my son turned one this past July, I reflected on my birth and the intense year that followed. I had a c-section after 35 hours of labor and had many hours of natural childbirth. It was a real ride! Jennifer was by my side the entire time. I treasure the memories of working through contractions and trying out the tub and eating popsicles. She knew how to calm me, guide me, position me so that I was most comfortable and present. She was easy and fun to be with, a wonderful support to my husband, and a terrific addition to the team of midwives and ob/gyns. When I went into the surgical room for the c-section, I chose her and my husband to accompany me. She held my hand during the operation and made a stressful time so much better.
Childbirth is so private and unpredictable. Jennifer was able to move right into a major support role and created a safe ground for me to do my work. I cannot recommend her highly enough -- or thank her enough.
