Testimonial for Jill Thompson CLD, IBI
I hired Jill around my 30 week date. We live in Colorado and all of our family is back in Georgia. I was worried about my children and needed to know my husband would be able to take care of them if I suddenly went into labor. But I also wanted to be supported during this process. Jill provided that peace of mind for us. As baby #3's due date approached, doctors became more concerned about the growth rate. Baby was small. Jill stayed on top of my appointments, asked for information, and supported me with my real fears I sometimes heistated to share with others. I wanted so badly to have a natural birth, something I was unable to do in my previous labors. I told Jill I thought anything less than a natural birth would be a failure. Our doctor scheduled an induction due to concerns for the baby. Jill was there and such a supportive influence. She provided pain relief, walked with me, listened, distracted me, and allowed my husband and I the time and space to speak to each other about issues that arose in our labor. She even managed to win over my mother, which is no small feat. In the end, I opted for an eidural, which was the right decision given I had another 12 hours of labor in the end. A 29 hour labor was not what I anticipated, but Jill was there for me in a way I cannot express how much I appreciate. She listened, supported my decisions, and reminded me of my goals. She became family during this process. I absolutely love her and cherish our good work together. I will never forget she was there when my husband announce we had a GIRL! Jill saying, "I knew it" and crying tears of joy with us all. Thank you Jill. You are an absolute blessing and treasure. This birth was such a special experience and you are such a large part of that reason. I cannot imagine this process without you.
