Going into my second pregnancy I knew I wanted a different experience then my first. I wanted it to be more natural. I was 6 months pregnant & had just learned what a doula was. A couple weeks later I went to my first prenatal chiropractor appointment and his wife was Morgan the best doula I could have ever asked for! Our first meeting Morgan made me feel comfortable and was so kind I felt like I had known her for years. We went over my first birth pros and cons and what I wanted out of this birth experience. For the next few weeks we text time to time. Then she came over to meet my family & really lock down our birth plan. Her birthing guide allowed me and my husband to figure out what we really wanted to happen during labor and delivery. Morgan was on board for whatever we wanted & were comfortable with. We stayed in contact talking every week and my confidence was up while approaching my due date! At 39 weeks and 2 days I thought I was going into labor Morgan came over that night even though I was unsure if this was the real labor. We went for a walk and tried some things to stimulate labor. We went to bed & she slept over and in the morning went to the hospital with us. I was still in early labor and came back home. Morgan taught me some excersises to naturally induce labor and 4 days later I went into labor. Meeting me at the hospital Morgan helped make our space feel safe & comfortable. Her energy was soothing my husband was taking her lead in techniques to make me more comfortable. My husband literally said “I just wanted to start throwing money at her”. Morgan made him feel more calm knowing she was going to be there the whole time helping us along. Morgan helped me achieve want I wanted a natural birth. Afterwards she helped me learn how to get my baby to latch and the following week saw us just to do a check in and that was so reassuring. I highly recommend getting a doula if this is your first pregnancy or 5th.
