Testimonial for Maggie Gott (Watkins)
My OB/GYN advised me to have a doula for my labor, so I and my husband interviewed several doulas and decided to have Maggie asour doula because we could feel her passion and energy. Looking back, that was a great choice. Maggie is patient and knowledgeable. During our first meeting, she came well-prepared with a detailed birth plan. As a first-time mom, when I came up with questions about a specific procedure or practice, she provided valuable information, based on her experiences and researches, which prepared me physically and mentally for the labor. In addition, Maggie is professional and client-oriented. When my scheduled labor was brought forward, despite the short notice, she visited us again to walk us through the updated birth plan and address any issue that might arise during an induction. During my labor, she was encouraging and supportive - she offered effective pain relief and stress coping measures. She was around like a family member and proactively advocated for my best interest in a hospital birth setting. After delivery, Maggie also provided us preciousadvice on breastfeeding and newborn caring. Overall, it was wonderful to have Maggie for my delivery and it was a great pleasure for us to recommend Maggie to anyone expecting.
