Testimonial for Daisy Mason

We absolutely loved our experience working with Daisy for the birth of our daughter in December 2018. We had an opportunity to meet with Daisy twice before the due date and it was a great way to share expectations, questions, concerns and also get tips for preparing myself for the birth. Our daughter was due November 29th but ended up 11 days late. During that time Daisy was regularly available to me for phone calls and texted to check in on how I was feeling and how midwife visits were going.

Ultimately I had to be induced and Daisy was there from the very beginning. She talked me through things the weekend before and arrived at the hospital for triage before the induction. Throughout the day Daisy continued to offer support and even gave me a foot massage as I was waiting for stronger contractions to begin!

After several hours of pitocin the midwife suggested breaking my water, a decision I was not comfortable with at the time. Daisy was able to help me talk through my options and delay the decision. Throughout the rest of my labor and pushing Daisy was such a calming presence to help me through and consistently reminded me of breathing techniques. Her support was able to really help keep me focused and my husband really appreciated having another knowledgable person providing support in the room and advocating for what we needed.

Once our daughter arrived Daisy helped with breastfeeding and continued to stay with us through our transition into the mother-baby unit at the hospital. She continued to text and check in on us and visited us about a week after we left the hospital to see how we were doing. The postpartum visit was an excellent addition to the birth support. I was really struggling with breastfeeding at the time and Daisy provided help with positioning and latching and was able to be an emotional support during some difficult times. I couldn't imagine doing this without her support.
