Testimonial for Megan Boone
Megan is an absolutely wonderful Doula, who was there with us for the birth of our second child. Our daughter was born in July 2020, while COVID-19 was still very much a part of everyone's lives. I wanted a hospital birth, and there were restrictions leading up that would have prevented Megan from being with us. I'm so thankful these were lifted just a few weeks before my baby was born! Megan's personality is so sweet, professional, friendly, but also firm. She was available to us throughout the day of my labor, and joined us at my house before we had to head to the hospital. They still did not allow Doula's in triage at that point, but Megan was there to do everything we needed (even get ice for my cooler and watch our bags!). She also was texting me while I was in triage, providing suggestions and encouraging me to come out to do a walk with her. I was pretty hesitant as the contractions were hitting me pretty hard and I wanted to just lay down and hope I was dialating enough to get in for an epidural. She managed to convince me to come out and do stairs (5 flights!! Or maybe 3? haha, it's a blur). I'm so glad she did, because immediately afterwards, I lost my plug and progressed enough to be admitted. The next hour was incredibly intense, and ended with the birth of my baby! Of course as luck would have it, the anesthesiologist was busy and I could not get the epidural. Baby girl was born very quickly! This was basically my worst nightmare haha - to give birth without pain relief. BUT Megan honestly made it totally bearable! She was so supportive of me and my husband. At the birth of our first child, we did not have a doula, and it was very hard on both of us. I am so glad we had Megan for the birth of our second - I truly believe her support allowed for this labor/delivery to be SO much better than it would have been without her. She's amazing. I don't think I will have a third, but if I did, I would not hesitate to make sure Megan was at my side again!!
