Testimonial for Melissa Johnson VIRTUAL AND IN PERSON SUPPORT

Continued....

this pregnancy was not the easiest. We had just experienced a 2nd trimester loss and got pregnant very quickly after. So my anxiety levels were high. Everything was pretty much textbook though until the 3rd trimester when I went into pre-term labor. In the doula/client agreement it discusses the time period Melissa is “on-call” for you. So when I was admitted into antepartum at 28 weeks for a magnesium drip I panicked that not only could I potentially have a micro-preemie but I may not have my doula either (who, by this point in my pregnancy was a pillar for me... I had succumbed to the friendship by then) . I sent Melissa a text to let her know what was going on and she was as supportive as support can get. She came up and sat with me any chance she got and when she couldn’t come see me, she was constantly checking in through calls and texts.

Pregnancy is unpredictable. And I know now, that had I actually delivered early (thank goodness for wonderful providers and modern medicine that kept me pregnant) I know for certain she would have moved mountains to be there right by my side. Even the last couple weeks she would let me know any time she was leaving the Boise area so I could call the minute I went into labor (again, still didn’t happen).

Melissa is the best. I want to shout it to the rooftops but also, not share! ??
