Asking for Megan's help was one of the best decisions we made before our son's birth. From the moment we found we were pregnant we knew that this was going to be a challenging process, particularly because we didn't have any family members or close friends here besides the current COVID situation. However, Megan was just the right support and company we needed during this time.
After our initial online meeting, we had many other zoom calls where Megan gave us important information about the pregnancy and guided us through all the steps we had to take. When the first contractions arrived, Megan was fundamental to keep us calm about what we were doing. As the husband, I think it is easy to think that, once in the hospital, there is nothing much for me to do there. However, with Megan, I also had a small but important role in the delivery process. She was constantly explaining what was happening and how I could help. She also knew exactly when to offer my wife some water or some cookies (not that easy to time). Megan's rapport with the team of midwives was excellent. From the moment the strong contractions started, we felt safe and confident that we were doing the right thing.
Once the baby arrives, there are so many things going on at the same time that it is very difficult to think about taking pictures. Fortunately, we had Megan on our side. She took wonderful pictures at the right time and saved those moments forever.
Megan kept in touch with us during the days after the birth. She helped my wife with breastfeeding as well as with general questions about the baby. Being alone with a newborn for the first time is definitely daunting. But with Megan on our side, we always felt good and confident. I totally recommend Megan as a doula. Giving birth is not an easy process. There is nothing more comforting than knowing that you can count on an experienced, confident, and incredibly calm voice that will guide your steps. Thanks Megan!
