Testimonial for Maggie Gott (Watkins)
Maggie is worth her weight in whatever is much much more expensive than gold! I would never have gotten my VBAC without her, much less an ALL NATURAL, completely UNMEDICATED VBAC! I still can't believe how wonderful of an experience she made the birth of my son and I wish above all else that she had been present at my daughter's birth.
We hired Maggie for all the big reasons: her calm demeanor, her judgement free attitude, the wealth of evidence-based knowledge at her fingertips, her TENS unit. What I didn't realize, was that the little things she brought to the table--things I didn't know to ask about or look for--would make an even bigger difference in our experience. She was a magician while I was in labor: finding things in the hospital room, or asking for them before I even needed them; teaching my husband various comfort measures so he could be an active participant; words of encouragement masterfully given exactly when I needed them. She gave me the strength, courage and information I needed to fight for a trial of labor and then held my hand every step of the way until I successfully had my baby in my arms. I could not be more grateful.
