Testimonial for Jennifer Gloodt
Jennifer was a great support for me during and after my pregnancy and vital just after delivery. Before my due date she came for a home visit at my request to familiarize with my house and people who would be at the labor. While here we discussed a lot of techniques and what I wanted for my homebirth ideally. She is relatable, down to earth, yet incredibly professional, educated, and grounded. She helped me further visualize and communicate what I was hoping for with this labor and delivery And learn about more options available to me.
A bit unfortunately, I had a percipitous labor, being somewhere around 20minutes, to all of our surprise. Jennifer made it to my homebirth shortly after delivery though, around the time I was hemorrhaging and needed some life saving interventions, which were quite grueling. During this difficult time, Jennifer was by my side squeezing my hand and saying things I cant remember now but were incredibly calming and helping me through the process completely. Having her there was so important for me for what I was going through. I was very lucky to have a team so supportive of what I wanted and they all stayed extra Long after delivery to ensure i would be alright and not need to transfer. Jennifer made me food after delivery, brought me anything I needed, cool rags, ice. She really tied my team together. Her energy was what helped the most. I was shaking and her hand just seemed to transfer through some calmness over to me to help me relax. It was a fairly intense postdelivery.
Jennifer brings incredibly positivity.. Really a great person to have on your birth team. She is passionate about all things birth, babies, and mothering. She has a gentle and nutering demeanor. She was there for me throughout my pregnancy and postpartum Through text messages, calls, etc. I would very much recommend Jennifer as your doula, and would hire her again if we have another someday. Thank you so much
