So, I am not a "crunchy" kind of person by nature. I don't really understand essential oils, and I like medication, generally, as my first defense against a headache or allergies. BUT, I was introduced to Jaimee through a mutual friend when I found myself in need of help and support and am SO THANKFUL I was. I had no idea what a doula could mean for a birth. I didn't know they were normally available for hospital births actually. I didn't know that they knew everything about bodily positive feedback, compression when you're anxious or shaking from an epidural, encouragement and direction when you're trying to keep it together during a contraction (or not push because the doctor isn't in the room yet), and a ton more. Jaimee became an instant friend to me and my husband and then our little girl she helped to get earth side, along with the nurses and doc. Although I never seriously considered having a doula or anything of the sort, we have decided we don't ever want to deliver without one again. I highly recommend Jaimee to anyone who's interested in a support during pregnancy and delivery and to those who aren't quite sure but would consider it. Meet her. Ask her what she can do to make the whole process more pleasant and if you've had a hard birth experience previously like I'd had, even REDEEM, labor and delivery. Big claim, but I'm serious. Knowing help like this exists makes me much more comfortable moving forward and Lord willing, bringing more children into our home (though not for a little bit ??).
