Julie is an amazing support to have as a doula. As a FTM I was nervous about both pregnancy and the entire birthing process. Additionally, my spouse was often less involved and supportive as I needed him to be. I initially planned on a natural vaginal birth and Julie was able to educate me on both coping tools and medical pain manangement to ensure I knew I had options for whatever would come up. When I decided during labor that I would need an epidural, Julie still supported me and encouraged my decisions against further (in my opinion) unnecessary medical interventions. Additionally, Julie worked great with my IU North hospital medical team and had previous experience in working with most of the OBGYNs. I strongly feel that without Julie, my pregnancy and birth would not have gone as smoothly and I may have had to suffer unnecessary medical interventions. I will be seeking Julie's doula expertise for all of my future pregnancies.
