Samara Meir-Levi (a birth and postpartum doula) recommended Megan (Samara was out of the country during our birth) and we couldn't be happier with the outcome.
In fact, I KNOW that I would have ended up with interventions that I did not want and possibly a cesarean birth without Megan's expert help, guidance and support.
What did Megan do for us:
She met with us several times before our birth and really focused on helping me feel prepared for the birth process. I thought I was going to be nervous about giving birth but instead I felt empowered and excited.
Megan was with me for almost the entire labor and birthing process which lasted more than 45 hours. After approximately 15 hours of laboring with my husband, Megan came over to our house. I was having back labor and my contractions were all over the place. She helped me power through 12 more hours at home before we went to the hospital.
At the hospital, Megan helped me get exactly what I needed, including a new nurse (I didn't like /feel comfortable with the nurse who I had been assigned). And I couldn't have pushed for 4 hours withour her support and coaching. It was tough but she helped me stay focused.
I highly recommend Megan.
