Testimonial for Maggie Gott (Watkins)
I had a fantastic experience with Maggie. She is such a calm, encouraging presence. She met with me twice before the delivery (which I initiated late in the pregnancy), listened carefully to my concerns, and brought up several aspects of the upcoming delivery for me to consider that I wouldn't have otherwise thought through. On the day of my delivery, I texted her in the very early morning to let her know that the contractions had started and she responded immediately. She arrived at my house right away and stayed with me throughout the delivery and for several hours afterward. She helped me assess when to go to the hospital and continually helped me to relax and stay as calm as possible through each contraction, pressing on my lower back and helping me relieve the pain I was experiencing there. She remembered my birth plan (which I had forgotten at home), and was a fantastic representative for me with the hospital staff-- assertive but also respectful. I truly don't think I could have met my goal of a natural birth without her support. I highly recommend Maggie!
