Testimonial for Maggie Gott (Watkins)
Maggie was our doula for the birth of our first son. Before becoming pregnant I was not familiar with anything about labor and delivery and I knew I needed some education. My husband and I met with Maggie when I was 6 months pregnant. We immediately decided that she would be a great person to work with. She is friendly and personable, but also very professional and knowledgeable. The information she provided during pregnancy to prepare for labor was invaluable and I truly believe I would not have been able to have the birth I wanted without this preparation. My water broke at 38 weeks however contractions did not start by themselves. This meant 40 hours in a hospital room and lots of negotiating with the doctors to find a compromise that allowed me a shot at my natural birth plan. During that long process, Maggie was a pleasure to have with us - she was insightful, dedicated, patient and gave me the confidence to advocate for myself. Since the delivery, Maggie has continued to support us and provide information on caring for our baby boy and help with breastfeeding. My husband and I were so glad we chose to work with Maggie and would recommend her without reservation.
