Testimonial for Jessica Johnson
I chose Jessie to be my doula for my first and second pregnancies. When I first met Jessie, I knew right away she was a caring, loving mama and also a confident, experienced, and caring doula. Throughout my first pregnancy, she was there to answer any of my questions/concerns, she checked on me regularly, she was very thorough to go through labor/childbirth with my husband and me, and overall she put me at ease knowing I had her as a resource and support person. My first pregnancy went unexpectedly long (past 42 weeks) and Jessie was there for me every step of the way, as a lot of time was spent trying to induce labor the final week, including when I finally did go into labor which lasted a long time at home. She was there for me at the onset and provided me much comfort, but due to the timing (as no one knew I would go as late as I did), she was not able to stay for the full duration of my labor and provided a backup, and I ended up transferring to the hospital. I was sad to lose her for my labor/delivery, but she still continued to support me over phone/text and also came to the hospital to pick up my placenta. Soon after I got home, she scheduled a home visit and it really helped me at that stage to have her to talk to (and cry to) as I experienced a lot of hardships during/after my birth. She is a really great listener and helped me feel validated in all my feelings. She continued to be a resource in those early weeks of motherhood, and I was always grateful to have her, even though my birth didn't go according to plan.
