Jessica served as the doula for the birth of our first child, Isaac. Jessica was the second doula that we interviewed but we knew right away we wanted to work with her. After our interview, we met with Jessica twice at our home to review our birth plan and walked through different birth scenarios.
Once I went into labor, we were in constant contact with Jessica by text and eventually, when the time was right, Jessica came over to our home to assist with the breathing/contractions, etc. The contractions were surprisingly painful and Jessica played a key role in helping me manage the pain by assisting with labor positions and exercises. A bit later we all headed over to the hospital and were admitted to a birthing room. Over the the next several hours, Jessica was an essential member of the team who struck the right balance between advising, cajoling and backing away when required.
Overall, we were very pleased with Jessica’s support throughout and would highly recommend her (as well as hire her again if I ever have another baby.)
