Testimonial for Megan Gifford, CD(DONA)
When my husband and I decided we wanted to use a doula for our first child (11/6/19), we made sure to interview several before we went with Megan. When we met with her, we left the meeting feeling like she was the one. One of the things that immediately stood out for me and set her apart from the other doulas we met with was that she actually looked at my husband and asked HIM questions during our initial meet and greet. This small act really sealed the deal with me since one of the reasons I wanted a doula was so that he could get the support he needed so he could support me during labor.
After we hired Megan, she was great with checking in and her pre labor visits were priceless. She gave us the tools and comfort we (mainly me) needed to feel good about the marathon we were about to embark on.
My labor wasn't an easy one - went in on a Monday and gave birth via c-section on a Wednesday after pushing for 5 hours. Megan was there for the whole thing encouraging us, cheering us on, whipping out her tool back of tricks to massage and maneauver me to help me get to the outcome we were hoping for. She seemed to have a suggestion for every challenge we faced and when she was out of suggestions, she consulted her tribe of doulas and came back with more ideas.
Megan was and is nothing short of a superhero in disguise. We couldn't have gone on this journey without her.
Thank you Megan!
