I sought out the support of a doula to ease my anxiety centered around my plan for a natural delivery. From the beginning in working with Jennifer, I felt confident I had the additional support I needed for my birthing journey. It was important to me that I felt completely comfortable with my doula, and I had this feeling immediately with Jennifer. I had many questions that she helped with from all her experience and any moments of fear or doubt I had leading up to my due date, she helped dissolve. I was induced at 41 weeks and felt confident knowing that Jennifer and my husband were there by my side. The skill set Jennifer possesses was very reassuring to me. I knew in the heat of the moment, she would be the calm and steady hand guiding us through to ultimate our goal, the successful vaginal delivery of a healthy baby. Jennifer was an oasis of comfort and our birthing toolbox of information, techniques, and encouragement. It was important to me was that a doula did not take the place of my husband’s support in our birthing journey. Jennifer and my husband worked together seamlessly as my support system.
Jennifer was 100% supportive of my wishes and helped guide me to make decisions with absolutely no biases or pressure of any kind. Amidst the chaos, she reminded me that every decision in that room was mine to make and that I could take all the time I needed. I felt empowered to make all decisions and I am ever grateful for that.
Even more, the support didn’t end after delivery. Jennifer checked up on us in postpartum and made in-home visits. These visits of hers played a key role in my postpartum wellness and health, which I wouldn’t realize until much later.
The attentiveness and support I received throughout delivery and postpartum only comes from someone who genuinely cares about the health and well being of me and my baby.
