Working with Jackie from Blessings & Births has been a wonderful experience. We connected with her right off the bat. She was always available to answer any questions, give her advice and provide evidence &/or research based information when required. Now at 4 months of being a first time mom, with my many questions, Jackie doesn’t mind me reaching out for help or to ease my mind.
Jackie prepared us well for what we may expect during labour & helped us come up with a fitting birth plan. But things, of course, did not go according to plan. I ended up having a very fast labour, with our little guy’s arrival giving us quite the scare. I believe if Jackie wasn’t with us it would have been much more traumatic. She stayed with me while my husband, the midwife, nurses & doctor were tending to the baby. I was/am so happy she was there with me. She was very comforting, giving me just enough info so I wouldn’t freak out, ensuring me everything was going to be ok with our baby. (To us it was terrifying, but is an often occurrence with newborns).
Jackie also puts together fun gatherings/outings for us moms and little ones, which I find fantastic as my circle of friend’s babies are now all grown. It’s great to have somewhere to go and do things that are baby friendly.
I am very grateful for Jackie and we highly recommend her.
