Having just had my first baby I can't imagine ever trying a natural birth without a doula. While I was trying to get educated during my pregnancy I started to consider hiring a doula but was not satisfied with those that I interviewed. I came across Maegan's profile, reached out to her and loved her timely, thorough response. She came across as more of a friend than any doula I had seen previously. She immediately made me feel at ease and that I could ask questions without bothering her, which as a first time pregnant woman - I had many! She always returned my texts or calls and did everything she could to provide me information on any given aspect of pregnancy, labor or birth.
During my actual labor, she was amazing. She had me in so many different positions, offering advice each step of the way and doing everything she could to keep me on track with my birth plan. As I said, I truly cannot imagine trying to have a natural birth without a doula, but even more specifically without Maegan. She cared about me, my husband and my unborn son like she was a member of our family and her support made my husband and I stronger. My nurses asked me afterwards where I had found Maegan as she was so unlike other doulas they had come across and they liked the way she handled my labor.
Her birth photography was icing on the cake for us, it was not originally something we were looking for but now that all is said and done we are so happy that we picked a doula/birth photographer. The pictures she took of this amazing event are beautiful and we will cherish them forever.
I will definitely hire Maegan again should we choose to have another child!
