Testimonial for Joli Ammons
I got pregnant in Jan of 2014 and did the traditional doctors office and all that jazz, untill my doctors started to hyjack my pregnancy. Telling me what I was going to be doing and this and that. Being this was my second baby, I was not having that. So at 28 weeks, I began the search for something different. Boy howdy, did I find it!!! I went to a birthing center, naturally my next step was a doula! SCARY! I met with two women and talked with one on the phone. Not one, compared to Joli. NOT ONE! She was real, down to earth, funny, included my other child and listened to my husband dorky jokes. I loved how comfortable she made me feel about my delivery and that we would be doing it together. She asked questions that I had never even thought of. When my little guy decided to be difficult and turn BREECH right at 37 weeks, she was right there to guide me on how to help him turn and came to show us what to do, walked my husband through it all, so he could do it when she was gone. Then the day after I said I would be pregnant FOREVER (we all have been there), my water broke! My husband was over an hour away, he was still breech, my mother was sick and making a doctor appt, my grandmother was going to social security office, my aunt was dropping kids and wouldn't be available for a couple hours. And then Joli, when I called her, was calm and reassuring, she said she was there for me and was ready to come directly to me. She followed me to the birthing center then to the hospital for our c-section. She assisted me for 9 hours while I labored, rubbing my forehead and my back. Talking with my like an old friend, telling me how good I was doing. Now all this, while dealing with a huge personal crisis. But NEVER let my side!! She was by my side even into the OR with her peppermint in hand, in case, I got sick my stomach!!!
