Testimonial for Jill Thompson CLD, IBI
Hiring Jill was one of the single best decisions in my birth plan that I made. Initially I decided to hire a doula to help my husband support me through my first birth. I knew he would be freaked out but would want to help and Jill would be the piece of the puzzle we needed to make the experience easier for him, plus have essentially an advocate on our side through the whole process. Little did I know that Jill would be an asset I could not live without come the big day. The birth of my daughter lasted 38 excruciating hours. My body was reacting as if I was dilated 7 or 8 but I was barley a 2. I was in so much pain that I welcomed the epidural when it was administrated. My daughter moved positions half way through the labor and I went into back labor which the epidural did not help much with. There was so much going on from my daughter moving positions to the pain to the difficulty getting her out that if it was not for Jill I just know we would have ended up in a c-section. Jill helped me through the pain, was constantly by my side with words of encouragement and I just remember when we were getting to the last push and I was totally out of energy, and they were one try away from c-section I looked at Jill and she told me she knew I could do it and I had the strength! With everything left in me and with my husband and Jill by my side we welcomed my little girl into the world! I can not thank Jill enough for her strength, kindness and guidance. I know that when we are ready to have another baby Jill will be the first person we will call. Not only were we impressed by her but even our doctor told us that he was impressed with her and enjoyed working with her. You don’t hear doctors saying that very often so you know she is amazing to work with on all fronts. I suggest everyone hire a doula and not just any doula but the best there is...Jill Wilkey.
