Testimonial for Midwest Doulas- Doulas, Placenta Encapsulation
Justine and her team at Midwest Doulas were so amazing to work with all throughout our pregnancy, birth and postpartum time. Everything was done with us in mind. We loved having the appointments with Justine, Kelly and Ale in our home. It was so convenient and made us feel most comfortable. We felt very prepared going into our birth and journey as new parents. Along with the prenatal visits we took the breastfeeding course as well. Justine helped us create a plan and a back-up plan just in case it was needed. Our birth ended up taking a different route and instead of the natural water birth at the birth center we were hoping for, we ended up with an emergency cesarean section at the hospital. If it weren’t for Justine preparing us the way she did and reminding us that things often don’t go as planned, but that she would be there advocating for our wants/needs regardless of what happened, I don’t think we would have been able to cope with things as well as we did. Even though there wasn’t much she was able to do during the actual birth of our daughter she was there immediately after salvaging what was left of our “wants” from our birth plan. She was constantly checking in with us, helping us with breastfeeding issues during our hospital stay and scheduling lactation appointments and craniosacral therapy appointments when we got home from the hospital. She was doing it all, always reassuring us that she was only a text or phone call away! All while tending to the many other families that had welcomed little ones in the days surrounding our birth. The women of Midwest Doulas are truly amazing! The world is a better place because of the wonderful work they are doing.
