This was my second baby, and first homebirth. From the beginning of my pregnancy I knew Jesse would be a part of it. I think she was one of the first I told. From first ultrasound photos, to selecting my midwife to difficulties with my anatomy scan results, to the birth and postpartum period she was there for us.
When you think of doulas you think hip squeezes, and education- my experience was so much more. The value of having someone’s ear and educated opinion through all the ups and downs was so important. When my baby was three months old he had to be admitted to the hospital, and she texted with me in the middle of the night while working a postpartum shift. When I had no one to vent to, Jesse was there.
If I could bring it down to one thing, the combination of lived experience and evidence based knowledge makes her the perfect fit for a growing family.
