Joann’s support during my pregnancy, birth and postpartum was such an important part of my transition to welcoming my third baby. She offered a safe place to voice my concerns during pregnancy as I grappled with the possibility of a breech birth and especially as I went past my due date. I ended up having a very fast birth experience and Joann provided support and photography during the last half of my labour, as well as valuable birth debriefing as I struggled to wrap my head around how fast everything happened. She stayed for the first five hours postpartum and made sure we had everything we needed and were settled before she left. We had many postpartum hours over the next four months which were so valuable to me as my body was slow to recover due to chronic issues I had prior to this pregnancy. Joann knew exactly what I needed and I felt she offered immense value to our family during this transition. Even as a third time mom there was many things I had forgotten about and new newborn care tips I did not know with my first two babies. I highly suggest that anyone expecting consider hiring Joann for doula support for labour support and especially the postpartum period.
