Testimonial for Maggie Gott (Watkins)
Short- Maggie is the best.
In the 2 weeks leading up to my son's birth, Maggie answered every grumpy/panicked/false labor start text/call. No question was too small, and I felt seen during the last weeks of pregnancy.
At my 40 weeks check in, we discovered I had gestational hypertension, so my birth plan (Birth Center) was out the window, and I was sent to the hospital. I let Maggie know ASAP that they were going to induce me, and she was ready to be at the hospital to support us the moment we got checked into our room. We asked that she come once labor really kicked off, and we called her at 1 am to come to the hospital. Once Maggie was there a CALMING energy settled on the room and my nerves were gone. I felt in great hands the rest of the evening/morning and felt that I could just focus on the task ahead. Maggie helped us with understanding what the midwives/nurses were asking and gave support during all parts of my labor. Maggie took so many wonderful pictures of my son's birth and first moments. Beautiful moments we will treasure, we are both so so thankful Maggie was there. The follow up call me with Maggie was a really wonderful and rounded out the feeling of having a very supported and informed birth.
