Testimonial for Jessica Mascher
I am so glad that I found Jessica and chose her to be my birth doula! Jess was very responsive with my questions, knowledgable of various topics about birth, and most importantly, has a very calm personality that I found critical during my labor.
I had some complications during my pregnancy and stayed in the hospital twice. During one of the hospital stay, Jess was out of town for her vacation. She connected me with her back-up doula before she left for vacation in case I would have my baby early. During her prenatal visit, she listened to our needs carefully and gave us helpful suggestions to get ready for labor. Since I booked her in my 3rd trimester and had to get induced because of my conditions, I wanted more hours for postpartum visits. Jess was flexible and agreed to change the hours.
On the day of my scheduled induction, she checked in with me frequently. The moment I said, “I don’t know what to do. I think it is time for you to come”, Jess was on her way. During my 36-hour labor, she helped to relieve my pain with physical movements, massage and encouraging words. When I was in extreme pain and couldn’t think, she asked all the right questions about my treatment and recapped explanation from the on-call OB for me. She wrote down a timeline of when things happened, which is now in my memory book for my son. After my labor, Jess made sure that both my son and I were in good place and then she left.
During our postpartum virtual visits, not only did she check on me and my son, but also make sure that my husband adjusted to his new role well. She continued to answer my questions about recovery and talking care of baby via texts.
Thank you Jess! My family will be forever grateful for you!
