Testimonial for Meagan Thompson

I gave birth during the COVID-19 pandemic. To say that there were a lot of unknowns in the later part of my pregnancy is a massive understatement. Despite all of that, the best summary of Meagan was that she EMPOWERED me (and my husband!) through my entire pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
From our first meeting, she took the time to get to know us, not just our thoughts and preferences on birth, but who we are. She was always encouraging me to do what was best for me and my baby, and she provided information and resources so I could decide what that was and feel good about it. Meagan answered my questions with evidence-based information but she also provided suggestions of questions I could ask my OB to get what I needed. As my pregnancy neared it’s end, she offered both encouragement that my baby would get here and practical things I could do in order to gently encourage my body and baby.
During labor, she helped me try a variety of pain relief techniques because foregoing pain medicine of any kind was very important to me. If something didn’t work, Meagan gave suggestions for what I could try, giving me the space to think and experiment to find what worked. She offered relief to me and to my husband, gently stepping in and back as the situation warranted. Meagan’s calming presence and soft encouragement were always there, never overpowering, but motivating me.
I don’t think I could have been happier with my son’s birth experience, and Meagan’s support during my pregnancy and labor was a huge part of that. If I had to do this pregnancy all over again, knowing what I know now and with all of the craziness of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is no doubt I would hire Meagan again.
