Testimonial for Justine Temke, Doula, placenta encapsulation
As a guy, I was very skeptical at first when my wife said she wanted to have a Doula for our first pregnancy. I felt like we were pretty well educated about the process going into our last weeks of pregnancy. That being said, after almost a full 24 hours of false labor total in the last 2 weeks of the pregnancy I was really glad to have someone who spends a lot of time at births to consult with on what to expect and what was normal or not.
When the time finally did come, Justine did a fantastic job during the delivery at helping to keep things moving, managing our expectations, and giving me ideas to keep me involved and useful at supporting my wife through the delivery. She was able to advocate for us to the birth center staff which freed me up to focus on my wife and what she needed. She was very encouraging and helped to cultivate that kind of atmosphere with the rest of the staff while we were in the middle of labor. Having Justine to rely on was very valuable and very much worth it for a smooth and much less stressful birth experience. We also just had our 2nd Child and she was just great then too! I would recommend her to anyone but especially think having a doula is worthwhile if its your first birth experience. We also just had our 2nd Child and she was just as great then too! It was just over so quickly she had less time to do her thing ha. Thankfully for my wife though. ????
