Jenn Smith was awesome and made my birthing experience easier…and it was a difficult one.
I had met with a few doulas before meeting with Jenn. Though all were lovely, I didn’t click with anyone. And then I met Jenn. Honestly, I was surprised that I felt super comfortable with her right away. I have the mouth of a sailor, the attitude of a Brooklyn Girl (my hometown), and the judginess of, well, most people. Jenn took all these flaws in stride, and then some. Within 10 minutes I was hoping that I fit into her schedule.
Jenn is a very calming influence, which is exactly what you want in a doula. She was so calming, my husband and I decided to take hypnobirthing classes with her. And even though my hubby forgot all the lessons during my labor and delivery, Jenn was there to calmly offset his anxiety and craziness. I actually spent more time looking to her than to him. She stayed even when I needed to get a C-Section after 4.5 hours of active pushing, and was in both the recovery room and postnatal room after.
It’s been 9 weeks since our birthing experience and I am grateful for Jenn every time I look at my baby boy!
