Testimonial for Maggie Gott (Watkins)
We met with multiple doulas before deciding on Maggie. As first time parents, without the benefit of family nearby, I wanted to have someone there for support. We selected her for her large amount of experience and the sense of calmness I felt from her. She helped me think through my birth plan, asking questions and letting us come to our own conclusions and decisions. I dearly wanted to have an un-medicated, vaginal birth and Maggie worked with us to stay as close to that as possible after I needed to be induced. I labored for a long time with Maggie’s constant support until it became unsafe to do so. I felt comfortable with our decisions and proud of my efforts when our beautiful, healthy baby boy was born via C-section approximately 40 hours after arriving at the hospital because we had discussed things at our two pre-natal meetings and tried everything we could. If/when I have another baby, I will definitely call on Maggie again.
