Testimonial for Jessica Johnson
Although my story isn't a typical "birth" story, I wanted to leave a review about my miscarriage and the amazing support I received from Jess. My husband and I had been trying to get pregnant with baby #2, well we did, yay! I was going to an OBGYN, all was well with our sweet baby, my due date was August 20, 2018. I went to celebrate my daughters 2nd birthday with her & her friends at the babysitter; February 1, 2018 and when I got home, I used the restroom and saw a horrific amount of blood, I panicked and went to the ER, after many tests and ultrasounds it was determined that we lost our sweet baby (it seemed to have stop growing at about 7 weeks). I was shocked, hurt, angry, heartbroken...the list goes on.
Jess had shared her story about the loss of her second sweet baby on social media around the same time that I lost mine. Jess and I have been friends since high school and I was so ashamed and embarrassed but I needed to talk to someone that I trusted and that knew what I was going through. I reached out to Jess and she jumped into action from that moment, from preparing me for what was to come with a miscarriage, to reaching out multiple times a day to check on me and see how things were progressing. She answered so many questions I had and brought me so much strength and courage during such a terrible time. She even sent me a wonderful gift in the mail to help brighten my day; she goes above and beyond, folks!
Jess has always been a wonderful, caring friend but when I needed someone more than I can even put into words -- she stepped up to help and guide me during such a terrible time, without hesitation.
If you are looking for a Doula or in my case someone to help you through the grieving/post miscarriage process, she is your woman, I still cannot express enough not only what a wonderful person and friend that Jess is, but a top notch Doula.
