My husband and I attended Jodi’s prenatal classes as well as hired her as our doula. The classes were so informative and we always left feeling like we had gained so much knowledge! I was so thankful for attending the classes with my husband as it was so much easier to make decisions while both having the same current information. I highly recommend attending these classes together!
As for the doula services, if you do only one thing while preparing for your baby, let it be hiring Jodi!! I couldn’t imagine not having her apart of our birthing experience! From the start of preparing for our birth, to the support during the delivery and the post birth support, Jodi was absolutely amazing. Jodi was so calm during the delivery, whispering advice and reassurance in my ear in between pushes and being there for my husband when he needed to look to someone for reassurance that everything was okay and probably a million other things that I didn’t know she was doing in the moment!
We birthed in the hospital and after baby is out, the room clears pretty quickly, it was so nice to have Jodi stick around afterwards and help us get started on our breastfeeding journey (and feed me a peanut butter and jam sandwich at 4am LOL)!
It’s hard to put into words what it’s like to have a doula’s support during birth, but I remember being so thankful she was there while I was delivering our son. My husband and I couldn’t stop talking about how grateful we were after she left and we had a moment to process the whole experience!
