We are so glad that we had Megan by our side during the birth of our first child. The thing that stands out most in my mind when I look back at the experience is that Megan never left our side during the entire 30 hour labour. This was extremely comforting to me as I was nervous about giving birth for the first time and had heard many horror stories about hospitals and things that can go wrong. Megan met with us before the labour to help us prepare and write a birth plan. At the hospital she made sure the nurses and doctors were aware of the wishes on our birth plan (we went through 3 shifts of doctors/nurses during my long labour, and I’m sure if it had been up to my husband and myself we wouldn’t have remembered to communicate this properly with each shift change). Megan helped put me at ease when the doctors suggested a pitocin drip, and was understanding when I decided to stray from my birth plan and get an epidural. Throughout the experience it was so nice to have the extra set of hands, and my husband was even able to get some sleep while Megan stayed awake with me. After our daughter was born Megan took some beautiful photos of her and of us as a family. It was so nice to have her do this for us in the background, we didn’t have to pause in our moment and think to ask someone to take a photo for us. In all, we had a fantastic experience with Megan and would hire her again without hesitation. We would recommend Megan to anyone looking for a doula.
