Testimonial for Jessica Mascher
We had a great experience with Jessica who supported us through the delivery of our first child! Jessica was very helpful in preparing us (and even kindly lent us some books and maternity clothes!) and was a huge help to both me and my partner during my 20 hour labor at the hospital after my water broke. Jessica arrived about 5 hours in when I asked for her to come once my contractions begain to get more intense. She helped me feel more focused and calm through the contractions and also helped my partner better support me. When I finally decided I wanted an epidural, she was very supportive and helped me think through the decision but was not pushy at all. (I've heard some other folks share that they felt their doulas pressured them too much to not get an epidural). We all rested at the hospital for a few hours after the epidural before starting on pushing. Jessica seemed to have a good relationship with the UW Northwest team and we felt very supported by everyone! If we decide to have another child we will be in touch with Jessica again for sure :)
