Birth Stories and Reviews

  • Jen and Faith were a crucial part of a life changing event for us. I can’t even imagine what our birth experience would have been like without them. They both went far above and beyond my expectations. My husband says, “they both helped us to be present and not surprised by what was happening. When our baby was born and had to go immediately to the NICU, Jen stayed with my wife and I knew that she was okay; while Faith accompanied me to be with our son.” We look forward to recommending Gift of Life Birth Services to our friends and family, and using their services when we have our next baby!

  • I had our first baby in October 2023. When I found out I was pregnant, it was important to me to have a team behind me that genuinely cared for me, my birth plan, and the life we were bringing into this world. Faith and Jen did exactly that and more. From calming my storm as a chronic planner, involving my husband, and giving realistic advice without ever being condescending or talking down to me. No call was ever too early/ late, no question was too random, and no message was ever too long to read. When it came down to labor I felt secure, informed, and safe, all because of how they prepared me and the environment they helped me cultivate in the hospital. The support and care I received was truly what every mother hopes and prays for for their first childbirth experience. I know that they will definitely be apart of our future children's births.

  • Faith and Jen were an absolute blessing to me throughout my first pregnancy. They were there 24-7 for me during my 9 months and then even after my son was born. The kind, warm hearted care they provide gave me comfort and reassurance that I was able to bring life into the world. Their encouragement of prayer and seeking the Lord through every unanswered question or doubt helped build my faith throughout my pregnancy journey. They are an absolute joy and I'm so glad they were a part of my journey.

  • We were beyond blessed to have Jen and Faith by our side as we walked through our most recent pregnancy journey! They supported us through a loss and a new pregnancy shortly after. They made sure I had the birth experience I wanted, and were incredibly helpful and supportive during my unmedicated labor. They have continued to be supportive during the postpartum period, which is a huge blessing. They are always available for my physical, mental, and emotional needs. I am truly grateful for them and couldn’t dream of a better team!
