Testimonial for Jenn Randall
I'm hoping that my testimony, will help someone believe in themselves after a traumatic experience. My 1st child, was born via c-section and i was left traumatized. I didn't realize that the birth plan I orginally hoped for could possibly change last minute. The day I went into labor, I was only 1-2 cm dialated, no mucous, plug, and my water did not break. The contractions were intense and my poor husband and parents were not able to help guide me through them and I knew immediantely that a Doula was necessary and it was a huge mistake to not have one. I was not able to cope and deal with the labor pains nor was I prepared with different positions and exercises that could've helped me. Long story short, I was rushed to the nearest unfamiliar hospital and I succumb to a cesarian even though we still planned for a vaginal birth. I was cold, shaking, unable to breathe as I normally do, and scared as I waited on the operating table for my son to be pulled from my body. It was awful and the recovery was scary. Thank goddness my husband was there to assist me with recovery. Baby #2 came as a surprise, a year after my son was born. I immediantly searched for a facility that would allow a v-bac (Vaginal birth after cessarian), I knew that I wanted no interventions (ex: midwife breaking water), and I knew a Doula was necessary if I wanted it to be successful. I've seen Jenn before and I was recommended to her while I was pregnant with my 1st child. I instantly fell in love after meeting Jenn for the for the 1st time and I knew she was the ONE. Jenn made me believe that I can have a sucessful v-bac delivery and shared and educated me on many tips. I used the exercises to prepare my body for birth and when I went into labor, I was confident. I admit it was tough, but when I reached 10 cm all by myself, I was amazed at what a womens body could handle. I sucessfully delivered a healthy baby girl vaginally and I thank Jenn and her husband for recommending her to me.
