My husband and I got pregnant with our second child after having a traumatic and unexpected csection with my first. We had made the decision to try for a VBAC this time. After hearing so many amazing things about doulas, I researched and found Jaimee! I reached out to her around my 30w point and she was a breath of fresh air! So welcoming, happy, and positive! She helped us talk through our traumatic thoughts and helped us see this birth as beautiful no matter how our daughter came into the world. Knowing that Jaimee was going to be with us every step of the way was like having a weight lifted off of our shoulders. We felt so prepared for the Vbac and also made a c section but plan in case we needed it. We made it to almost 41w and after carefully and prayerfully evaluating our situation, we ended up deciding to go the csection route because my fluids were dropping and we didn't want to end up in an emergency situation. After talking with our doctor, I was in shock because I wanted a Vbac. I immediately called Jaimee who was there for me and my husband as we talked/cried through our new plan. Jaimee helped me realize that I did the best job growing this baby for the past 9+ months and now it was time to welcome her into this world and celebrate her birthday. The next morning, Jaimee met us at the hospital and stayed with us as I got prepped for surgery. As I was wheeled off, she stayed with my husband and kept his mind busy until it was time for him to come into the OR, which for him was the best thing she could have done.
I pray that everyone can experience and utilize Jaimee, her services and her expertise! I wish that each momma understood that birth is a beautiful moment in time and it can be what you want it to be. If you're hesitant or on the line, please at least give Jaimee a call and visit with her just once to hear how she will most definitely benefit you and your birth!
