Testimonial for Selah Birth Services of Texas
After doing some research during my pregnancy I decided I wanted a doula. I had read that research showed that outcomes were better for moms that used a doula. Jaci reached out to me and after a quick video chat, I knew she was the right fit. Jaci is very friendly and easy to communicate with. She provided exactly the support I needed. She also has a backup doula should something happen and she isn't available. When I had questions, she was only a text away. She didn't try to persuade me to do things that I wasn't interested in, but she made sure I had all the information necessary to make an informed decision. We had two in-person meetings before the baby arrived. During each, she showered my husband and me with her wealth of knowledge. I loved that she made sure to include him in the process. We set up a flexible birth plan but still highlighted a lower intervention route when possible. On the day I went into labor, Jaci was a rock. I labored at home until it was time to go to the hospital with Jaci making it as comfortable as she could. She performed so many hip squeezes and rebozo moves. She helped alleviate some of my nausea with essential oils and ensured I ate when possible. Upon arrival at the hospital, Jaci made sure the doctors and nurses knew our preferences and made sure my voice was heard. Ultimately, I did receive an epidural, but through the rest of the process, Jaci provided support to myself and my husband who appreciated her guidance. She stayed with us for over 12 hours at home and in the hospital. She truly made my first birth experience as comfortable as possible. I'm so appreciative of her knowledge and expertise. With Jaci's support, my husband and I welcomed a beautiful baby girl into the world.
