We hired Joann last minute and she was very easy to book with. My birth went well, and having her support was so incredible. I did require forceps and so the recovery is where I needed the most help. I struggled a lot with some complications with my recovery and she took charge of our daughter so that my husband and I could rest and nap. She was so good at comforting the baby, she had so much patience for my screaming baby. She showed my husband and I how to do tummy time, bath time, and she showed us how to established a bedtime routine when the time comes...She even did some occasional house work too.... Tidying our main floor, kitchen, baby's laundry, refilling our water bottles, so that I didn't have to constantly be going up and down stairs. One day we ran out of dog food and she went to buy her some food for us! That was incredibly appreciated! That kind of help was so nice to have, especially being first time parents, we really needed the guidance. It was so nice to have her throughout our birth and postpartum period to help and have our questions answered. My husband and I opted for the five visits and felt it might not have been enough, we could have used another visit or two. We loved having Joann around! We learned so much from her! We are so grateful to have had her. I would 100% recommend using Joann as your doula! You can really tell how much she loves what she does!
