Testimonial for Jennifer Mendez
Jen was recommended to me by a coworker, he just had his first daughter and was telling me about doula and how their birth story was a success. I was curious of doula as my first pregnancy ended up in a cesarean and did not realize how traumatic the experience it was of me. This time around, pregnant with my second baby, I want it different. I want a successful vbac. Everything was healthy until I gotten news I have gestational diabetes and on top of that my OB schedule a cesarean with out my knowledge as a backup plan because 1. My first came over due, 2. He was 9lb baby 3. My aged over 35. 4. Gestational diabetes. This cause alot of emotions with my OBgyn and it was too late for me to change OBgyn. Jen reached out and we scheduled a zoom meeting and learning Jen's experiences in her 3 births and the way she was carried herself, she was attentive listening to me and my concerns and my desire of a VBAC. Her passionate and loving mother made my decision easy to have Jen as my doula! Jen made check ins on how I'm doing and my pregnancy. She is resourceful, she provided tips and homework for me to open up my pelvic area/floor. I made sure to work those homework daily because I want the birth that I want. She even request me to see a Webster Pretnal chiropractor which was new to me and I am willing to try! She always available for all my questions! She even provided backup Doulas for me to be reassure I am advocate for. Jen made it possible for mama like me with gestational diabetes to have a successful VBAC and being unmedicated is my dream that came true! She's so encouraging and positive. I highly recommend Jen!
