Testimonial for Meredith Matheson, ICBD, ICCE, NCS
A husband's perspective -
When my wife first suggested we should get a doula for our second son's birth, my first reaction was, "Why? Do we really need to spend money on something we don’t need, I mean we got by the first time without one!" All I can say is now, from the other side, having hired Meredith, I don't know how or why we would ever do it without a doula. Meredith was incredible. She provided guidance when it was needed and disappeared to give my wife and I space when it was needed. She was always thinking and planning two steps ahead so I didn’t have to. It’s difficult to put in writing why or how positive it was having a doula but the experience was so much better than the birth of our first child. We immediately connected with Meredith and were excited to work with her. We were put at ease by the fact that she knows she’s not going to be a perfect fit for everyone and is happy to make a referral to a colleague. The support she was able to provide to my wife postpartum has also been a huge help. When my wife was struggling with her milk coming in, Meredith came over to help put her mind at ease. If you’re reading this, wondering if you should get a doula--Do it! If it’s Meredith, you won’t be sorry. But no matter who you choose, I am a firm believer in the doula experience.
