Testimonial for Megan Boone
For my third birth, I was attempting a VBA2C. I knew I needed an incredible support team to get me through it. I reached out to Megan because I was drawn to her incredible birth photos and her experience of over 200 births. From the first interview, I noticed her calm and gentle nature. I knew I wanted her as my doula.
Before the birth, I knew she was just a text or call away. I had a lot of anxiety related to my past birth trauma, and this upcoming birth. She was there to talk things through with me. Upon request, she provided great book recommendations and even lent me one from her personal library.
The morning of the birth, I had started labouring on my own, but we felt it was time to call Megan and bring the older kids to the sitter. Moments before she arrived, I was starting to panic, and was unsure if I could do this. The minute she walked in, I felt her calming presence and was reassured by her words. I was so afraid that something may go wrong, but she helped me remember this was a different birth and a different baby.
Once we arrived to the hospital, she was at my side the entire time. She provided emotional and physical support as well as guidance for my husband to support me. Her words and touch were so important during my labour. In the end, I got the VBA2C I had dreamt of. Things took a little longer for the placenta, but she was there to remind me I had options. Megan's presence was 100% a factor in me getting the birthing experience I needed to heal.
A few weeks after the birth, I was struggling with breastfeeding, and I reached out for advice. She was able to listen and answer my questions without me having to seek further help. Megan also took some beautiful birth and family photos that we will treasure for many years to come.
