Testimonial for Jodi Anderson
We had our first daughter with Jodi by our side May 17th 2012. I was 31 years old and did not know what to expect from this pregnancy and birth experience. My mother, whom I loved with all my heart, had just recently passed away. And therefore could not be with me through this life event as I would have wanted her to be. This was still a very raw feeling and I was in great mourning. The 2 sisters I have didn’t seem to me like people I really wanted seeing me in the completely exposed and vulnerable state. My oldest sister had 2 children of her own, but that to me did not qualify her as an expert on the topic. I knew however that I needed someone that could be there for me and my husband as support and as a source of knowledge and teaching. I wanted information from a professional and insight on how to increase the opportunity to have a birth process I was going to be happy, comfortable and felt safe with. We needed one person that was not going to go off shift and leave me to be in the care of someone new to trust and rely on. Jodi was this person for us and more. There were complications with my labor when our little girl had popped, ‘meconium baby’, out the window went the plans for the natural no monitors and IV’s method. But Jodi made me feel that everything was ok and she kept me informed. She was someone I had created a trusting bond and relationship with and I knew I could trust what she was telling me. It is comfort and peace of mind a couple needs through what can be a very scary event. I would absolutely recommend the opportunity to have a Doula by your side through your pregnancy and labor. I am grateful to have met Jodi and was blessed to have her as our Doula. Lots of Love!
