Testimonial for Midwest Doulas- Doulas, Placenta Encapsulation
The difference that the entire Midwest Doula team made for us is hard to put into words.
From the moment we first spoke with Ale, we had no doubts that we would be in good hands as she was already trying to understand what we wanted from our birth experience and the ways to make sure we were able to have that. This continued to be evident as we worked with not only Ale, but Justine and Ashley as well. The meetings we had with each of them prior to going into labor helped us to be informed and feel calm and prepared going into such a life changing experience. It was reassuring to have all of them as a resource and know we met not only our primary doula but also the other doulas who might step in if one was unavailable. They were also very responsive to any questions that we had and made great suggestions to help improve my comfort during pregnancy.
As we got closer to our estimated due date, they were wonderful about checking in to see how we were doing. When I started going into labor, Justine worked with us to get out of prodromal labor and through the initial parts of early labor. Ale came to support us at home & while laboring at the birth center and stayed until after the birth of our child. She gave my husband the support he needed while seeing me going through labor and enabled me to have the birth experience I was looking for. Her support in positioning, emotional and mental encouragement, as well as making sure I got enough hydration and nutrition made all the difference in the world. Even when I was struggling, Ale’s confidence that I was capable of bringing our child into this world exactly how I had hoped to helped carry me through.
Overall, we cannot thank the Midwest Doula team enough for their support along this entire journey.
If we ever have another child, we know that one of the first things we will do is see if these wonderful individuals are available to support us through this journey again.
