Working with the Midwest Doulas, and specifically Justine, was a fantastic experience. They gave me confidence as well as useful suggestions leading up to the birth of my son, our second child. I was having a lot of anxiety about labor and they knew just what to say to help me calm down and feel more relaxed about the big day. When I was in labor, Justine was incredible. She took the lead when needed and let my partner and I have space when that was what we wanted. I had asked for lots of suggestions about different laboring positions and movement and Justine more than came through for me. Labor lasted only about 4 hours this time but there were complications after birth. This is where Justine really became my rock. My partner and our new baby had to go to the NICU and Justine stayed with me the whole time, seeing me all the way through to our son’s room in the hospital (as his birth was at a birthing center and happened in the middle of the night). She was by my side during a very scary time, and I’m forever grateful for her support. She was super supportive after his birth too, which is very valuable when you are in such a vulnerable place. You can’t go wrong in choosing these ladies. They are the best!
