Testimonial for Jessica Medrea
Jessica is amazing and one of a kind. If you're looking for someone who is scientific, evidence based, matter of fact, advocates for you, works incredibly hard, while also being present, reassuring, and gives the best hip squeezes - she's your person.
As first time parents, without her we would have been grasping in the dark, not sure where my labour progress stood, and where things could evolve. We wouldn't know what to expect and when to make certain calls.
It was incredible to have Jessica's steadfast support, not only for me, but for my husband, as he's on this journey as much as I am. It was important to me that my husband wasn't all alone being my sole support while I was laboring, and Jessica did just that, keeping him company when I was in active labor, making sure he was well informed and supported the whole way through.
From start to finish, Jessica worked tirelessly, staying with us for well over 24 hours - never once abandoned us at any point in time - even when our birthing plan took different twists and turns.
She knew all my midwives by name and had their contacts, so she knew exactly who was on call and when to call. This took the pressure and guesswork away from us. She's familiar with all the ins and outs of the hospital and all procedures. We wouldn't even have known where to park! She also took the most memorable first picture of our baby at birth.
I'm having an unexpectedly great postpartum recovery - and I'm confident we can attribute this to having Jessica.
We get the luxury of enjoying our early golden days with our little one, without questioning or wondering if we made the right calls - we simply know we did, because we did it together, as a well informed team.
I'm certain without her, the whole experience would have felt overwhelming and rough - leaving us traumatized - that in itself is priceless.
Jessica is worth it! We wouldn't consider doing it again without her.
