Testimonial for Jill Magoffin CD(DONA)
Carolyn D. Part 2
As stated before, words do not do justice for the impact Jill had upon my life during this transition. I learned a lot through Jill whether through conversation or observation. Jill showed me the safest ways to care for my baby boy but also she reminded me when I needed to eat or sleep. Jill went with me to the pediatrician and to see a lactation specialist. She went to Target and really did whatever I needed to help care for myself and my son. Jill referred me to a lactation specialist when I started to have problems with my supply. I cannot tell you how helpful it was to have Jill at these appointments (pediatrician, lactation) because I was tired and generally I remember things very well but not after labor. I would often leave the pediatrician or meetings with my lactation specialist and couldnt remember a thing he/she said. Jill did. And if you have to ask Jill the same question over and over because you are exhausted, she wont mind.
My family is very supportive and helpful but Jill was by far the most helpful out of anyone around. She just gets it and understands the concerns mothers have. She takes the time to meet you prior to labor to learn what is important to you. There is no doubt that Jill will advocate for you but also she will step back if that is what you want. Jill will only make you feel confident and that you "got this." There were times when I had no idea what I was doing but Jill has a way to educate you but make you feel like you have every bit of the situation handled.
Many say that you do not need a doula because there are nurses. This is completely false in so many ways. Nurses come and go. Sometimes they don't tell you what is going on. Some are rude. Some dont listen to you as the babies mother. The differences are endless...
I am happy to discuss more on the phone should you wish to contact Jill. There are so many positive things I could say about Jill.
