Testimonial for Jessica Swiger
I chose Jessica as my doula for my second pregnancy because of her reputation as an empathetic, strong, and kind person. I didn't have a doula for my first pregnancy and birth, but knew once I was pregnant again I would seek one out. I felt confident that Jess would listen to my fears and desires surrounding my labor and delivery, and that she would be a strong and knowledgeable advocate for me in the hospital. Through a long (and even premature) delivery, I experienced all of this to be true of her.
From the beginning Jess sought to understand me and my pregnancy. We met in person and discussed a range of topics including my history, my hopes, and even my partners feelings about delivery. She answered all of our questions about possibilities during labor and delivery and shared helpful and relevant resources during and after our meeting. She also checked in with me and followed up on issues as they came up during my pregnancy. I felt so supported.
As my body started to prepare for labor, Jess was accessible, present, and helped guide my husband and I the whole way. Through labor signs starting and haulting, visits to triage, and a hard (and beautiful) delivery, Jess was by my side or a text away. She is so passionate about the birthing process and has a way with people that is very warm and kind, stays attuned to what is happening, and is bold in moments that an advocate is needed.
My husband and I were both so grateful for Jess' support and presence! We wholeheartedly recommend her as a doula, and would absolutely choose her again to walk with us through a future labor and delivery.
