Testimonial for Jackie Prescott
There arent really words to express how much we love and appreciate Jackie and her amazing suppor for BOTH of our births. With our first, she coached us through the whole labor process and helped us prepare for and know what to expect during labor and delivery. When she walked into the hospital room i instantly felt better, and she was abel to get me in the right positions to relieve a lot of physical pressure in my lower back. Her support and coaching was not only extremely helpful to me, but my husband kept saying "thank God for Jackie!" He felt so much better knowing he could just be present with me and that i was being supported by both him and Jackie but that (in his words) Jackie actually knew what she was doing. I dont think our birth experience would have been remotely what we wanted without Jackie's support and coaching, she truly is amazing and such an encouraging presence!
For our second, I had to be induced which was really stressful. Jackie talked with us and helped us understand our options throughout the whole process. She came to the hospital as soon as i felt i needed the extra support (more emotional than physical at that point) but she also encouraged me to get rest, and prepare physically and mentally for the next several hours of labor. Even though it was a much different experience from my first birth, having Jackie there to keep me mentally grounded in what was happening was necessary for my sanity and my focus. Aside from the various positions and helping me listen to my body, she coached me through each surge and helped me and my husband navigate all the questions and interventions throughout the process. After birth, Jackie was amazing in helping me postpartum with nursing, ensuring a good latch and talking through our baby's needs. She continues to answer all my questions and support me and my husnabd on this journey for a second time. I wouldnt be where I am in my motherhood journey without her.
