I worked with Jet City Doulas for my second pregnancy and birth. I didn’t really know what I was looking for, but I had a traumatic birth with my first baby, so I knew I wanted extra support this time around. They were the first doula support team that I contacted. When we had our initial interview, I honestly thought they were too good to be true. Katie, Mariah and Jen speak the language of trauma, so I immediately felt seen and understood. Mariah came to my house, met my family, and let my husband and I share our son’s entire birth story. She absolutely honored where we were at emotionally; it felt so comforting to know that she genuinely wanted to know every little detail about me and the narrative I had going into this second pregnancy. Katie worked with me to develop an amazing birth plan that was equal parts simple and empowering. She was also the one who ended up being my doula for my hospital birth, to which I say I LOVE YOU KATIE!!! She guided me, and my husband, through labor and met me in my moments of exhaustion when I felt I had nothing left; I felt so safe with her. Jen, the lactation guru, was just the cherry on top specifically for my postpartum care. With an in depth evaluation of myself and my newborn, she made sure that our nursing experience was as successful as possible. She discovered my daughter’s tongue and lip tie, and gave us great recommendations and resources for postpartum and newborn care.
I get to look back on my second pregnancy experience with an immense amount of gratitude. These women are worth it. We will forever recommend Jet City Doulas to any pregnant person we meet!
