Testimonial for Jennese Birritteri
It’s hard for me to know where to start with this or how to put into words just what Jennese means to me & my family.
After deciding on a home birth I had all but brushed off the idea of a doula.
I was trying to go into this home birth very low key. I just figured I didn’t need another person in my house while I gave birth. But my midwife suggested I give it another thought. We virtually interviewed with 4 doulas & I knew instantly I needed her by my side.
I loved that she listened to not only all of my wants & needs but also wanted to know my husband’s expectations. She took the time to get to know us.
I labored on my own for 20 hours before having her arrive for what I thought was “go time”, it was not.
She helped me labor at home for another 20+ hours. She was by my side through each contraction. She encouraged different positions & techniques.
Unfortunately our sweet babe had other plans & was not progressing. We had to make the difficult decision to head to the hospital.
Now, Jennese knew I did not want a hospital birth. I had no hospital plan because I was adament I was having that baby at home.
So she packed up her things & met us at the hospital. That was not something she had to do. She more than fulfilled her duties helping me labor at home.
She was my advocate at the hospital. She helped me as I tried pushing for 2 hours & she comforted me when I was told he would be born via cesarean.
She went above & beyond her duties & I cannot thank her enough. As challenging as my labor was, having the support of Jennese made it all doable. My birth story would not be what it is without her.
From the bottom of our hearts thank you so much for helping me bring our sweet, but stubborn boy into this world.
I knew I didn’t need a doula for this birth, I just needed a Jennese.
