Testimonial for Meg McCarthy
Shortly after I found out I was pregnant with my first child I decided I wanted a doula for support. When I got into the Midwifery center it was also a requirement so I began my search. First, I met with someone a midwife suggested but it just didn't seem like the right fit. A friend recommended Meg and when my husband and I met with her we soon decided that we thought she was the right person for the job. I had a pretty uneventful pregnancy but Meg allowed me to borrow a book in the beginning which helped a lot and comforted me when I was a little upset because I was told I was anemic and could risk out of the midwifery center. After my due date she helped me remain calm through a week of prodromal labor. Most importantly she advocated for me at the hospital when my nurse wasnt giving me answers on why my birth plans had changed. Looking back over the experience, my birth was perfect even with unforeseen changes and I have Meg to thank for a lot of that. When my Madison entered the world she helped me get her latched on and answered my breastfeeding questions in the weeks that followed. If you are trying to make a decision as important as who will be attending your birth, I think Meg is a great choice!
