Testimonial for Morgan Hayward, CD(DONA)
Morgan was an amazing Doula to work with. Even though we started working together during COVID and quarantine, she was super nice and supportive right from the start. She really wanted to know what was important to me regarding my birth and was very generous with materials and resources to help me along the way. Even before I went into labor, she was incredibly easy to reach via text. She always responded quickly and was eager to help resolve whatever question or issue I had that day.
Before my induction, we talked in depth about my birth plan and expectations. Honestly, I didn't have too many expectations, but Morgan went through each item with me to make sure we were both on the same page. When I had questions, she informed me of my options and helped me make my own decisions.l
Morgan worked with me during my first (and currently only) pregnancy/labor and I had to be induced. I was warned that induction might take a while, so Morgan let me have my space until I needed her. When labor finally started kicking in (THREE days after being induced!), she came to the hospital and immediately jumped in to help ease my pain. She would always ask if I wanted something, but wasn't afraid to jump in when I wasn't in the mindset to make a decision. She provided so many forms of pain reduction: light massages, lower back pressure release, a portable fan, hot water in the bath, and so much more. She was always on me to keep breathing - something you wouldn't think you need reminding of!
Morgan is extrememly knowledgeable and helps you make your own decisions about this wonderful moment in life. I never once felt silly or judged when I asked questions and she always emphasized that she is there to support me and what I wanted from my labor. From pain management to taking pictures of those first sweet moments with your baby, she is willing to help you through it all. I can't recommend Morgan enough - she is an amazing Doula!
