Testimonial for Midwest Doulas- Doulas, Placenta Encapsulation
Staci and Justine attended both of my children’s births. They were by my side through my son’s multi-day labor ordeal, talking me through every twist and turn of the induction I desperately had not wanted (but that was necessary due to PROM), and I credit their support with helping me change a birth that could have so easily gone off the rails into an experience I was really proud of. After his birth, I had a lot of problems with breastfeeding, and they helped me diagnose the issues to blame (poor latch and pump flanges that were too small).
I had some scary early test results when I was pregnant with my daughter. Staci came with us to the doctor appointment where we had to decide whether to go ahead with an invasive procedure. Both women provided the nonjudgmental support and counsel I so desperately needed at a time when I was imagining every worst case scenario. Everything turned out ok, and they were both there to witness the birth of my dreams... after two hours of labor and just seven minutes of pushing at the Minnesota Birth Center, my daughter was born bia waterbirth. Having them there made the experience so much richer, because they were a part of my journey to get to that point.
They are so much more than doulas—they’re family. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough.
