Testimonial for Jodi Anderson
Jodi has been with us for the births of 4 of our 5 children. I can't say enough positive about the support and comfort she has been through all four experiences, different as they each have been. I would recommend her to anyone!
I first met Jodi when we were hoping to VBAC with our 2nd baby. Our unplanned Csection experience with our oldest had been overall positive but both my husband and I were suprised by how little support we had from the L&D staff. I knew about doulas, and the many positive benefits of having doula support, so we decided to try finding one to hopefully increase our chances of the VBAC that we wanted. I phone interviewed several different doulas, and had a sit down visit with one, but no one clicked until i talked to Jodi. One of our challenges is living at some distance from the hospital. I had concerns surrounding that and just in talking on the phone she gave me some really great advice. We were able to meet up shortly thereafter and the rest is history...
She supported us through that 2nd baby's induced birth that turned into a wonderful VBAC. I had problems with my hip having partly dislocated just days before the birth so she was invaluable in helping me find comfortable positions that didn't spasm the joint. With our 3rd baby, she supported us through a labour so fast and intense that I didn't have time even for NiOx gas. She was also so tuned in to what my body was doing that, if it wasn't for her, that little one probably would have been born in the shower. Our 4th baby was indecisive so Jodi and DH had to keep helping me find a better position to keep baby moving all the way to a successful OP birth. With our 5th, Jodi helped keep me on track and breathing constructively through a whopping 1 hour incredibly intense labour. She also was really calming to talk with while DH went with Baby Girl to the NICU to stabilize her oxygen levels.
