There were a few unexpected curveballs with our son’s birth, but Jen was such a rock for us throughout the whole experience. As soon as I started feeling early labor signs (more than two weeks before my due date!) I called Jen. She was very reassuring and helped my husband and I come out of our denial that labor was really happening. We had planned to begin laboring at home, so once we knew we were in active labor Jen came over to our house and was very encouraging and helpful - hands on when I needed her to be and standing back when my husband and I were having our own moments of teamwork. Once we got to the hospital both our nurse and Jen helped us to recreate the same calming environment we had labored in at home. Jen continued to advocate for us, helped to provide counter pressure to my back when my husband needed a break, helped keep me cool with ice packs when I was burning up during transitional labor, and even helped me feel calm while pushing as she and my nurse walked me through how to push (we missed that part of our birthing class since our son decided to surprise us early). Jen was incredible and I highly recommend her services as a Doula! She was truly a rock for us when it felt like there were so many unknowns going on around us, and she helped me to stay calm and at peace. I can not say thank you enough for helping to make that day such a beautiful and special day for our family!
