Testimonial for Midwest Doulas- Doulas, Placenta Encapsulation
We decided we would enlist the help of a doula, and after speaking with Midwest Doulas we were sure that Justine and her team would be a perfect fit for our first birth. In a couple of the conversations with Justine, we were lucky enough to talk with her after she had assisted parents in their birth journey. That only solidified our confidence in our decision as she exuded pure joy after her experiences.
All the doulas from Midwest were incredibly supportive throughout the pregnancy, making visits to our home and educating us in techniques. We took the recommended classes (Lamaze, Lactation, Hypnobirthing) provided by Midwest Doulas. They also helped us put together our perfect birth plan.
Our Doulas were responsive to early labor signs, and we felt very comfortable contacting the team when we weren't sure about something. Justine was able to come to our home and guide us through the active labor stage. She knew the right time to leave for the hospital. When we were laboring at home, Justine helped ensure that we had the rest we needed. She helped us with comfort measures and verbal guidance.
Justine was able to keep me calm, centered, and empowered throughout the whole experience of the labor and delivery while working seamlessly with our midwife and nurses. She recommended different laboring positions during the birth. That sped up the process. She encouraged me during the pushing stage. The hard work was successful and he came into this world and was in my arms.
Justine was overjoyed for us and reminded me of how strong I was. She took wonderful photos to capture these precious moments, for which we are forever grateful.
The expertise didn't stop after the birth of our son and the doulas continue to be a source of support during our postpartum journey. We can't recommend Midwest Doulas highly enough. We know that without their help our birth would not have gone so beautifully.
