There are so many good things I can say about Meagan and her support during my pregnancy, labor, and delivery. While we had no idea going into it that I would labor for nearly two full days, ending up repositioning the baby after the first day and ending up electing to get an epidural, Meagan was there for us the entire time in so many ways that I couldn't have even predicted. I knew early in my pregnancy that I wanted to have a doula on my team to help support me and advocate (if necessary) and I knew after our first in person visit that Meagan was exactly the right person for us. Her calm, thorough, direct, and open approach helped me figure out answers to questions I didn't even know needed to be considered.
All throughout my pregnancy it was helpful to know that I had Meagan as a resource if I ever needed help thinking through a problem or if I had a question and didn't know where to turn first. I found that her insights into what is normal or common as far as procedures at the hospital, a provider's approach or personality, etc. were particularly helpful so I could know what to expect or how to gauge a situation. Our post-delivery follow up was also incredibly necessary and helpful after such a long labor and delivery experience. We were able to debrief with Meagan and get a clearer picture of what happened and when, which helped fill in the gaps in memory.
Meagan was there with us every step of the way and I would unreservedly recommend her services to anyone interested in hiring a doula. I don't really want to consider what my experience would have been like without her there. If I ever get pregnant again, I would run to the phone to hire her again.
