Testimonial for Meredith Matheson, ICBD, ICCE, NCS

Meredith's support of us through the birth of our baby boy was absolutely invalauable.  She is warm, practical, communicative, and funny!  Through both birth prep and during my labor, she was incredibly helpful and supportive but never made us feel like we had to do things a certain way -- just lots of great education to help us make informed choices and feel confident in our plan.  We had a very long labor (41 hours from when my water broke) and I believe Meredith's support really helped us deliver vaginally as we wanted (and we nearly had an emergency C-section several times!).  Seriously, being in a hospital is pretty overwhelming, and having someone by our side who knew the ins and outs of a hospital birth and could help us "interpret" medical speak and understand our options was so crucial to our experience being a positive one.  She also helped me avoid an epidural for a LONG time (I was trying for an unmedicated birth) -- if not for Meredith, I am pretty sure I would have ordered an epidural after the first contraction, ha! But, when I finally did choose to get an epidural, she was there supporting me in that decision as well.  We are so grateful for our healthy, happy boy, and I am especially grateful to have gone through a long and difficult labor WITHOUT feeling traumatized or alone.  Meredith is a  great doula and feels like a friend after working together!
