Testimonial for Megan Jones HBCE
In Sept 2025 I had my son. Megan spent the last month of my pregnancy going above and beyond to help me and my family. I had birth trauma from my last CNM going on vacation and leaving me with no care during my birth. This resulted in me developing gestational hypertension.
Megan did fear release, different gental movement to encourage the baby to get into a good position, and different releases to help release the stress built up in my body.
I was 42 weeks when I went into labor and it was only 30 mins after that he arrived. Thankfully Megan and my midwives were there because we had spent the day trying to gently encourage baby to come. I had some spotting that I was trying to monitor and Megan saw I was stressed about it because I was trying to manage my labor like I was alone. She looked at me and told me I didn't have to carry the burden of managing that. She reminded me that I was safe and had my midwives. It was my midives job to monitor the spotting.
That gave me the mental space I needed to process that I was not only in active labor but moving through transition. If Megan wasn't there to give me the freedom in my mind to realize what was happening I don't know how I would have navigated a labor that started in a transition phase. Megan stayed with me and tried to apply counter pressure while I pushed but baby was moving so fast. I communicated that with her and she shifted to help me remember to breathe deeper through the fetal ejection reflex.
After baby was born my placenta slightly abrupted. While the midwives worked to insure I didn't hemorrhage and messaged my uterus to stimulate the birth of the placenta Megan was calm and helped me move into the positions I needed to and she caught the placenta as it was birthed.
Megan's knowledge, support, and calm presence helped make my birth amazing. I could not put to words how much Megan's support means to my family and I!
