Testimonial for Maggie Gott (Watkins)
10/10 recommend Maggie. My husband and I have very opposite personalities yet both of us loved her and knew we couldn’t have done it without her.
My husband loved that she was professional, decisive, stern yet soft , encouraging, understanding, supportive, dependable, and overall the perfect temperament
I loved that she was a Christian, intuitive, easy going, easy to get along with, and experienced.
We both appreciated how responsive she was. If we ever needed her she was always available.
I experienced 4 day’s of excruciating prodromal labor prior to my birth experience. Maggie kept me going physically and emotionally. She responded to every 3 AM text and came to me at the birth center to help me with baby positioning exercises. Afterwards she came with us to our hotel to get me comfortable and was willing to stay as long as I needed her. Once my water broke she came to us again and helped me to remain calm and comfortable.
My husband and I would have been lost without her. She knew exactly when I should get to the birth center, reminded my husband to call the photographer, asked the midwife to set up the birthing pool. All things your partner will likely forget in the heat of it. She coached my husband through the hip squeeze and other techniques I needed and would have been in pain without.
Trust me, your partner can not take the place of a doula. Maggie is worth every penny and we will use her again next pregnancy. Cut back on something else if money is tight. Maggie is a must.
