Testimonial for Sharon Jensen-Cody
My husband and I hired Sharon as our doula with the intention of having as close to a non-medicated birth as possible. We were flexible with our birth plan but preferred to have minimal interventions. Sharon was very thoughtful in helping us plan and prepare for the birth of our newborn. We met a few times before the birth and frequently texted regarding updates from prenatal appointments and occasional questions I had about symptoms. My doctor scheduled me for an induction at 39 weeks pregnant because I was high risk with gestational diabetes. I was hesitant about the induction, but ultimately went forward with it. Sharon was extremely attentive with every decision that was made and made sure to confirm with me that I was comfortable with the interventions my doctor proposed. After starting Pitocin, I was able to work through contractions with no epidural until I was 6 cm dilated. Sharon assisted by helping me get into various positions including on a medicine ball and peanut ball. She was extremely hands on the entire time, applying counter pressure and support while I worked through each contraction. Once it was time to push, Sharon continued to assist me in positions that helped baby descend into the pelvis. Sharon helped me stay motivated throughout the entire labor. I was able to have the vaginal delivery I wanted and am blessed to have a healthy and very happy little boy. I cannot thank Sharon enough for her support and will definitely be using her for my second birth.
