We had the pleasure to work with Meredith for the birth of my second child and I am so glad we hired her. Her knowledge, experience and compassion helped me getting through some times of uncertainty during my pregnancy and she was the best support I could wish for during birth. TLDR: Hire her! :-)
More details: Prior to giving birth, she helped me a lot with my questions and anxiety around VBAC and really tried to understand (and helped me figure out) what I wanted for the time in the hospital/in labor. She also introduced me to her backup which I really appreciated since one of my biggest fears was that I would have to be alone at birth.
In this short period of time I felt like she really got to know me and my family and it felt very natural to have her with me when it was time to give birth.
Her calm and comforting presence was exactly what I needed when I was in labor and she was very reassuring whatever decisions I made in terms of pain control.
I loved that she wrote down her version of the day I gave birth and gave it to me afterwards. Such an amazing memory of things I wouldn't have remembered of this special day.
