Testimonial for Midwest Doulas- Doulas, Placenta Encapsulation
I decided I wanted to hire a doula when I was 37 weeks pregnant, and Justine was so kind to take us on last minute. My husband was still on the fence after some subpar meetings with other doulas, but our first conversation with Justine changed his whole mentality completely! We were both immediately impressed with her professionalism, knowledge & experience (so much so that we changed OB care & hospitals last minute solely based on her recommendation- & were absolutely thrilled with the care we received from both places!) and are still so grateful she was able to step in & guide us through everything.
We had two prenatal appointments to go over any questions/concerns, learn some great tips for managing the end of my pregnancy, and discuss my birth preferences. We also met Justine’s backup doulas (not just one, but two!) Molly & Ale, who are both fantastic as well. In the following weeks leading up to birth they would all reach out to check in every so often, and just knowing that we had such an experienced & attentive team really helped both my husband & I feel more comfortable & confident in things.
Molly was the doula we ultimately worked with, and we loved her! She stayed on call & checking in while I was in early labor until we decided to have her come to the hospital, and from there did a wonderful job of guiding me through the rest of my labor & delivery. She had great techniques for me to manage pain & contractions, as well as ways my husband could be involved & help too. I also really appreciated that she took photos & birth notes- everything was a blur in the moment, so it was great to have those later on!
Our whole experience was so positive from start to finish, and I just can’t speak highly enough about Justine & her team. I will absolutely be referring others to Midwest Doulas, and can’t wait to work with them again for my next pregnancy!
