It’s hard to put into words how helpful and important Jenny’s presence was during our birth experience. Many things did not go as planned and in the moments of uncertainty and confusion, it was a huge relief and important comfort to have someone there who understood our preferences and needs and was a presence that helped us feel like we weren’t alone. Our son was born during a hectic time for our care providers during the Omicron wave that stressed the hospital and care teams who were caring for us but Jenny was able to give us undivided attention that we needed in those moments. This being our first child we didn’t know what was normal and what was the Covid component with each curve ball we experienced. Jenny’s knowledge and experience was our main source of help during the last few weeks of pregnancy and during the craziness of our situation at the hospital especially once we had to have an unexpected c-section. Jenny went above and beyond in the middle of the night to make sure we were cared for and took care of logistics we didn’t foresee needing. She even waited with my husband during scary moments that he couldn’t be with me in the operating room. We have said many times we don’t want to know what that whole experience would’ve been like without Jenny there and we would recommend her to anyone needing care!
