My husband and I hired Justine to be our doula for the birth of our second child after the birth and loss of our first child who was a preemie born via emergency c section. It was very important to us to have someone supporting us in our second pregnancy and birth given the complicated and traumatic nature of our first. As soon as we first spoke with Justine, we knew it was a perfect match! We intended to have a VBAC, and Justine and her team helped to coach and prepare us accordingly. We ended up in a repeat c section, and I was so happy to have Justine with us. She supported me both physically and emotionally. I never would have thought to have a doula for a c section, but I would absolutely do it again and recommend it to anyone having one. She made both my husband and I feel empowered in a nerve wracking situation. She was an advocate for me, and she helped be the voice of both my husband and me to ensure our first child and birth experience were also honored. If you are on the fence about booking Justine or Midwest Doulas (we also met with Ale who we adored!), do not hesitate!
