Testimonial for Maggie Gott (Watkins)
Not enough good things can be said about Maggie but this is my attempt to try. SHE IS ASTOUNDING! During prenatal visits she wants to know how you see your delivery going and will do everything to make that dream come true. She has a passion about what she does, and it shows in conversations, tools she provides, and RESEARCH she gives you. She is VERY educated on how to manage labor pains and different techniques to help position the baby. She was referred by our chiropractor when discussing changing to a home birth considering COVID. She really opened our eyes to SEVERAL different resources and techniques. In addition we took her breast-feeding class. Maggie has been there for any random questions and stayed with us until the baby latchd post delivery. Prior to us calling Maggie to head our way, we chatted about what to expect and how to help relieve pressure if we weren’t ready for her to show up yet. In prior talks we had discussed how long it would take her to get here and to factor that into when we were ready. My husband gave her a ring and when she arrived she had a suitcase full of goodies. Ladies, use the tens unit :)
Anytime I wasn’t grounded or thinking “I can’t do this,” Maggie was there. She reminded me of my positive affirmations, I CAN DO THIS, and our little girl was coming. She kept me grounded and moving forward. She was there for EVERYTHING and NEVER left my side. She was our calming factor during this process. During one strong surge I fell to the ground and Maggie was there talking me through every second. She was our rock and a great asset to my support team both mentally and physically. I literally had to push against her body to get the baby here. This experience with Maggie was one for the books and I could not imagine having our baby without her being there. SHE IS AMAZING and we will be using her again for baby number two!
