Testimonial for Jenn Edmonds
(Continued from above) I was having a long labor and my body was not reacting as I hoped it would so we were not able to try many of the calming techniques out of bed that we planned. I had planned for an all natural birth but after 3+ hours of my body shaking with every contractions which were doubled up and coming every 30 seconds or so lasting 2+ minutes, I couldn’t take the discomfort anymore and was thinking about getting an epidural. I was so scared about having the epidural and the procedure to receive it. She helped me to remain calm and reassure me that I had done a great job thus far. She consistently gave me the support I needed. When it came time to push Jenn was right there, helping hold my leg while my husband held my head and then when our beautiful baby boy made his grand entrance she quickly grabbed the camera and snapped as many pictures she could of me and my husband meeting our baby for the first time. I also planned to bring home the placenta as I was having placenta encapsulation done and she made sure the nurse packaged it up and put it on ice. She was there for us for a few hours after the birth of our baby to help us get settled into the recovery room. Shortly after we brought our little boy home from the hospital Jenn came over to check in, talk about post labor and to help me out for a few hours while my husband was working some overtime. She hung out with the baby while I showered and got a snack and she helped answer any questions I had about nursing. Jenn also bought our son, Lucas a beautiful letter about the day he was born through her eyes, which of course made me cry! I was so sweet and it now sits in a frame on his dresser. Thank you Jenn, from the bottom of my heart for your support, warm, caring and compassionate nature. I am so thankful for our friendship and will always support you on your journey to become an amazing Doula. I see you doing wonderful things for many families for many years to come.
