Testimonial for Jennifer Michel-Wilson
I wanted to ensure my wife and son received the best care. I read books, watched YouTube videos, and did as much googling as I could. The more I researched, the more anxious I became. The horror stories were so many, I didn't want my wife to be one of them. My Google searches led me to the term "Doula", so after learning what they are, I set out to find one. Two weeks before my wife's due date, I interviewed countless Doulas, but never found one I could trust to care for my wife and son throughout the pregnancy. A coworker mentioned Jennifer. After speaking with her for 10 minutes, I knew she was the Doula for us. Jennifer arrived a week before my wife went into labor to teach her exercises for dropping the baby. In my head, it all seemed silly. Two days after Jennifer's session, my wife started having contractions.
Upon being told that my wife was in labor, Jennifer arrived within 30 minutes. Such is the type of urgency she brings to the table. She made sure she was comfortable as soon as she arrived in our room. My wife's doctor told her it was necessary to perform a C-section a few hours later. With a few eloquent words, Jennifer assured the doctor she would give birth naturally. The nurse we encountered at the hospital when my wife arrived was unprofessional and empathy fatigued. As my wife's contractions intensified, she became rude and snarky, not offering any assistance. Jennifer raised hell on the birthing floor when she saw my wife's tears. The nurse was disciplined for her actions, and the entire staff was retrained.
You might think you are prepared, all you men out there. In the midst of a situation where your wife is screaming in pain and 100 things are happening at the same time, it is hard for you to process what is happening. However, Jennifer will. In addition to taking good care of your wife, she will fight for your rights and ensure no malpractice occurs. You can count on her.
