Testimonial for Megan Boone from Gillian Cox

Testimonial for Megan Boone

My husband and I hired Megan as our doula for the birth of our first child. We were referred to her through another doula and had a great initial meeting with Megan. She was well prepared for the appointment and thoroughly answered all of our questions. As well, she had a very calm and positive manner that we felt would be beneficial during labour and delivery.
After picking Megan as our doula, we had two very informative meetings with her to prepare for our daughter’s birth.
Due to some health concerns, labour was induced for me. Megan came to our house the morning of the induction (bright and early at about 6:30am); she was positive and upbeat. We waited at the hospital for several hours for induction to take place. During that time, Megan was attentive to both of our needs from having me rest in positions that encouraged the baby to turn into the optimal delivery position to getting us beverages.

When labour finally started, Megan was of tremendous help. She was very conscious of putting me in the most comfortable positions to manage the contractions, provided encouragement and supported Derek so that he could provide optimal support to me. During delivery, Megan suggested different positions to try, elicited the help to the medical team to optimize pushing, and continued to provide encouragement. After we welcomed our daughter, Megan took pictures for us and captured those once in a lifetime moments. She continued to look out for our well-being. It was a long time from Megan’s arrival at our home to our daughter's birth and while I’m sure she was tired, it didn’t show in her level of attentiveness.

Our birth experience with Megan was very positive. With her help, we had the medication free delivery without any interventions that we had wanted. we feel confident in saying that without her this would not have been the case. Based on our experience, we would not hesitate to recommend Megan.
