Midwest Doulas/Justine is vital for improving the birth experience. She has been kind and informative of every step. She respected any decision we made and made sure we knew all our options. Justine did a great job of validating any worries without being dismissive and provided encouragement. We really appreciated her advocacy with preparation for birth and all the access to experts she had. I was especially grateful for Justine due to ending up with a C-section. Justine advocated for me to have skin to skin contact as soon as possible. She helped with comfort care when nausea set in. My spouse also really appreciated having her there as it was his first birth as well. He learned when you can push back on doctors and what is needed for the safety of the baby. He was able to be present in the moment and enjoy it as Justine took many precious photos for us. I also really appreciated the postpartum debrief.
