Jenn supported us during the labor and birth of my 4th baby/2nd homebirth in November of 2015. I hadn't ever used a doula before, because I didn't believe I needed one. I became a doula between the birth of my 3rd baby and my 4th baby, I still felt as though I wouldn't need a doula. When Jenn offered to be my doula, I had no idea what an impact her support would make. She provided a safe space to vent during my pregnancy, someone who I knew would be listening and providing advice and support, rather than just hearing what I said. When my labor began, and my water broke, she was the first person to come to my home, knowing that I was nervous about the midwives potentially not coming in time and being alone with my husband. Her gentle, yet steady, touch, and whispers of support helped me through what ended up being my hardest labor and birth yet. Her place in the circle of women around me during my birth was irreplaceable. I can't imagine going through my son's labor without her guidance and wisdom. I won't hesitate to use her again if a 5th baby is in our future!
