Testimonial for Morgan Hayward, CD(DONA)
We interviewed several doulas before deciding to hire Morgan, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we made during pregnancy. In the months leading up to the birth, Morgan took the time to help us parse all the information we were learning from prenatal classes, books, and other sources. She also walked us through the hospital process, which helped ease our anxiety by making us feel that we weren't going in blind.
During the birth, Morgan was a lifesaver for both of us. She went out of her way to soothe Sarah's discomfort and anxiety using personalized methods; helped us interpret everything the doctors and nurses were telling us; assisted the nurses in physically supporting Sarah during labor; and made sure I had time to communicate with our families and get some rest. We experienced a longer labor than expected, and we can't imagine how we would've gotten through it without Morgan. She remained a calming, supportive, and knowledgeable presence every step of the way. After the birth, Morgan followed up with us several times to make sure we were adjusting to life at home and taking care of ourselves.
From the moment we hired her, Morgan was responsive to questions by text, phone, and email, putting in a lot of legwork researching concerns that arose and conferring with her colleagues. This was huge for us.
Overall, we felt that Morgan truly listened to us and supprted us in all the ways we needed. We would work with her again in a heartbeat, and we recommend her to anyone looking for a supportive, personalized doula experience. Thank you, Morgan!
