Testimonial for Midwest Doulas- Doulas, Placenta Encapsulation
Midwest Doulas’ evidence-based background, level of knowledge, and degree of care exceeded my expectations!
I appreciate Midwest Doulas team approach and I was able to get to know the whole team during the course of the prenatal meetings. At our first prenatal meeting we established my preferences and concerns. They also helped me advocate for the birth team that I wanted as I transitioned from a traditional OB-GYN team to midwife team part way through my pregnancy.
During labor and delivery, the support I received gave me confidence and empowered me to have the unmedicated birth that I wanted. Justine put perspective on what I was feeling during labor and was able to articulate what I didn’t have the language for. She had a way of asking me questions that illuminated where I was at and what I needed in the moment. She was remarkable at reading my body language and anticipating my needs. From the moment Justine stepped into the labor room, she was able to recognize that I was experiencing coupled contractions indicating baby’s misalignment and jumped into action suggesting different laboring positions until the baby was positioned optimally for delivery. She worked seamlessly with my midwife and nurse team for a smooth delivery.
Justine and Midwest Doulas are well known through the twin cities community. Every time I mentioned that I was working with them, from sharing with my midwife to the nurse team I was reminded that I was in good hands. Midwest Doulas truly provides exceptional service, grounded in evidence based birth whose level of support is next level. From prenatal, labor and delivery to postnatal, I felt supported and cared for every step of the way. I couldn’t be more happy with my birth experience working with Midwest Doulas. I would 100% work with Midwest Doulas again and I highly recommend them for any family in the twin cities!
