Testimonial for Jessica Medrea
Jessica was an integral part of my pregnancy, labour, and delivery. She was not only extremely knowledgeable, but also comforting, caring, and non-judgemental throughout my whole experience. During my pregnancy, Jessica was available to answer any questions my partner or I had. She even attended my prenatal class with me which was helpful as we were able to discuss our takeaways from the session and we made plans moving forward.
I had a long labour and delivery. For about two weeks, I had early labour symptoms where I was experiencing contractions daily. Since this was my first pregnancy and I did not know what to expect, I was very anxious. Jessica always made sure to check in with me during this time. This really helped with my anxiety as she always knew just what to say to make sure I felt calm and confident.
When it came to my actual labour and delivery, it took 39 hours. Jessica ensured she was available and provided me with a wealth of knowledge. As per my request, she met me at the hospital and made sure I was well taken care of. She said kind and empowering words, made sure I was comfortable, checked in with my partner, and stood by my side through the delivery. All of these things combined made me feel like Jessica was more than a doula, but a friend.
After the delivery, Jessica stayed behind to make sure that we were all okay. A couple days later, she came over to our place to check on our new family. I was so surprised when she brought over soup and a gift for our baby. Her generousity and kindness made us feel so special.
Jessica was such a significant part of this experience for us. I highly recommend that she be a part of your journey too!
