The primary reason I hired Jill onto my birth team was to have extra support so I could labor at home for as long as possible, but at nearly 42 weeks I ended up checking into the hospital for an induction.
After a traumatic induction with my first, I had reservations about how helpful it would be for me to have a doula in a subsequent induction but HOOOO-LY COW was she worth every penny!
My son's birth came with a number of surprises and she walked us through every one of them with so much compassion and patience. Toward the end of my labor my son's heart rate became unstable and we began discussing alternative birth plans with my midwives. Jill helped me get into positions that kept my son stable and allowed me to avoid an emergency c-section. I wholeheartedly believe she is the main reason I was able to have the beautiful, joyful birth experience of my dreams.
