I was worried a doula would be a waste of money. After all, with me, the midwives, and family present, why would we need another helper? What became clear to me from the very beginning is that this was the best money we’ve ever spent. In all honesty, Jessica should be charging more than she does. When we hire her for our next baby’s birth, I will be paying her more than her going rate. That isn’t a joke or hyperbole – she is fantastic and deserves every penny (and more). Thanks Jessica; we can’t thank you enough for your integrity, compassion and knowledge. We wouldn’t dream of having our next baby without you.
