Jaime was amazing from the day we met her onwards. She is easy to talk to and asks great questions to get to know what is important to her clients. I really felt like she sought to understand what we wanted out of our experience and she gave us support before during and after to help make that happen. In our case, we ended up having a really long induction that ended up in a c-section, which was not what we wanted to happen but Jaime was there supporting us through it all - even when it was running into a 3 day event! Her presence in the hospital was so reassuring - she knew to give me a heads up at different stages about what was coming next and sure enough the medical staff did exactly what she predicted. We had to make some hard decisions in the moment, including eventually going with an epidural and ultimately the c-section. With each decision I had to make, Jaime helped me understand my rights and what my options were. For example, I wanted to wait as long as I could with the epidural even though the nurses kept pushing it, and Jaime always let me know that it was ok if I wanted to wait. It's so reassuring to have someone there with an objective and knowledgeable perspective who is on your side - especially in the hospital. Jaime also was completely non-judgemental - when I made the decision to move forward with the epidural for example, she was still there supporting me and helping me to continue to deal with how the labor was progressing. Ultimately, Jaime was extremely punctual and responsive - through texts if I had questions as well as when I finally called her to come to the hospital because I needed support through the increasingly painful contractions - she was there right away. Even with a labor that ended up being induced, medicated, and ended in a c-section, Jaime was extremely helpful, supportive and kind and we were so glad she was there with us through it all.
