Testimonial for Midwest Doulas- Doulas, Placenta Encapsulation
Having Justine as my doula during what ended up being a very strange, lengthy, and trying labor was worth every penny and more. I ended up laboring for 60 hours and Justine was either talking me through the changes, or right by my side the entire time. She helped my husband feel helpful in how he could apply pressure to ease some of my pain, she helped me feel confident and educated in the decisions I made, and most of all I felt completely supported in whatever I wanted or felt the need to do. She constantly reminded me how strong I was, not to underestimate myself, and to believe in myself which as a first-time mom is so important. She also captured the first photos of my husband and me with our daughter as she arrived in what ended up being a c-section. I was terrified of surgery but she sat right at my head the entire time and distracted me so I wouldn’t panic. She was amazing. She worked so smoothly with both my midwives and my OB who performed the surgery. Even they were raving about her!! She advocated for me strongly but without stepping on any toes and I could see that my medical team really respected what she was doing for me, and I felt that they all worked together to get the best outcome possible. I am forever grateful for the encouragement and support Justine provided and will never not have a doula!
