Testimonial for Jackie Prescott
Jackie was a true godsend during labor and delivery. Nothing went as planned as I was induced at 36.5 weeks. Jackie made my husband and I feel empowered behind choices, and helped to remind me, as I waited for my husband, that there was no rush to make a decision when it came to my body and that I was entitled to ask to wait for my husband to move forward. Jackie was virtually present for my many hours of active labor and although she was unable to be physically there due to COVID, I felt she was with me every step of the way. Jackie helped me to understand decisions I was making through out the process, to understand how to push, and stuck around after my birth to make sure all was okay and that I was able to bond with my baby. There is no way I could have gotten through my labor without Jackie and I am forever grateful for her help, knowledge, and support. Jackie completed a follow up post-partum visit afterwards and it really helped to complete the circle of a completely unplanned labor. She provided advice about our beautiful baby boy and about continued support in the community to connect with other moms who gave birth around the same time as me. I can't imagine how my labor would have gone without Jackie, and am so glad I don't have to!
