For the natural birth of our third child we knew we wanted a doula and as soon as we met Jenna, we knew we found our doula. I could list all the ways she supported our priorities like incorporating our 2 children in the entire experience, managing the implementation of our birth plan or taking photos but to be honest, it was the emotional and physical support she provided to me in the unique and valuable ways that only she could, in perfect complement to my husband’s intimate support, the loving presence of my sons, and the care of an exceptional OB that granted me my baby West’s perfect birth. She was a stable, friendly and knowledgeable presence throughout my labor, filling in gaps and offering helpful guidance but honestly, it was in the final phase of labor when her confident and calm yet understanding support was invaluable to me. With my husband on one side, anchoring me with all his loving support and Jenna on the other, pushing me through with her guidance and practical support as a mother herself and birth professional, I was able to get through the most extreme experience of my life, delivering not only my baby but also my perfect birth experience, which I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
