Testimonial for Meg McCarthy
Meg McCarthy is a wonderful doula! Meg was the backup doula for my doula, who was on vacation, when I went into labor with my second child. I was hesitant at first to work with a backup doula since I had never met her, but I immediately felt at ease when Meg stepped into the hospital room. Meg was always attentive to my needs, whether it was having a hand to hold or having some space to myself. She was respectful of my husband’s participation in the birth, and brought a feminine, maternal presence to the room that I like to have during labor. She provided knowledgeable advice when I had questions about how to keep labor progressing, whether or not to allow the midwife to break my water, and about hospital procedures when my baby was born. Meg was also encouraging and reassuring when I was dealing with an unfriendly midwife while pushing. I would recommend her services to others and I hope she is available the next time I’m pregnant!
