We were matched with Jen through Manchester Hospital and it was a great match from the start! This was our first baby, and I planned on having a natural birth so I wanted a strong advocate as part of our team in case anything went wrong. In our initial meeting I felt Jen was listening to our desires, and never second guessed the fact that I was committed to a no-drugs birth plan. Once I went into labor, Jen was immediately available and came to the house to observe and reassure us. I ended up being in labor at home most of the day, so we met back up at the hospital - she was there right away and helped guide us through the birth. She gave us extra confidence and support throughout my labor, and it was so helpful to have someone who was there for both myself and my husband so I could strictly focus on the labor. Following the birth of our son, Jen was supportive and checked in with us to make sure nursing was going well and helped reassure me when Leo had a lip tie and tongue tie. Overall we are so glad she was there, and can't wait to work with her again!
