As a nurse, I know labour is a crazy intense experience. My fiance and I live 5 hours north of Saskatoon but had decided the best decision was to deliver there. When I first mentioned hiring a doula my fiance wasn't too sure of the idea... he thought it would be weird to have someone present during such a big moment of our lives and worried his role would be diminished. After meeting with multiple wonderful doulas we knew Jenel would be a great choice for us. Her outgoing and open nature was a perfect fit. Her ability to talk about the hard stuff with ease was a big asset for forming a relationship with us. Quickly my fiance came around to the doula idea and after having a long labour with a few complications he will be the first to tell you how happy he was she was there. Realizing now how busy the hospital is (where hours go by without seeing a nurse) I can't imagine not having Jenel around to be that knowledgeable presence and my advocate. I keep telling all my friends it was the best decision we made. With the pandemic and living in small town a lot of post partum services being suspended, it was great to have Jenel available to reach out to when I was having a meltdown. She always took the time to talk things out and give me suggestions. She would check in regularly and I was so grateful to have her as a lifeline.
