Testimonial for Jet City Doulas
As first time parents, my wife (Rebecca) and I had strong opinions about how we wanted our birth experience to be and were uncertain how to prepare ourselves for the birth process, how to select the right facility to give birth and how to effectively communicate to the birthing staff aobut our desired approach leading into the birthing process and during.
After doing research, Rebecca determined that having a Doula help us with this journey made sense, and through additional research, we contacted Jet City Doulas. From the first interview session with the Jet City Doula team, it was abundantly clear that not only were they knowledgable about the various topics we needed help with, that they were experienced in each of their specialized fields,, but through a series of throughtful questions, it was also very clear that they were passionate about their field of work and cared about us.
That said, the coaching we received leading into the pregnancy was extremely helpful - not only for our own preparation, but also coaching us on how to best prepare the midwivery team at Swedish hospital for the expereince we hoped for. During the pregnancy, the assistance of our Doula to help sooth Rebecca through the birthing process, but also provided suggestions to the Swedish staff that helped "encourage" the birth to occur.
It was the post-pregnancy experience that really made the Jet City Doula team stand out, in my mind. During the folllowing several weeks, somebody was always available to help us with nursing, sleeping and other important topics related to our new baby. On several occassions, Jen made visits to our home and spent as much time as necessary to ensure Rebecca was comfortable with the coaching provided and helped improve our mental state!
In closing, I cannot say enough about the postiive experience this time provided.
