Testimonial for Morgan Hayward, CD(DONA)
Morgan was pivotal in helping to make my hospital birth experience as comfortable and empowering as it could have been despite some limitations placed by the clinical team.
I wanted an unmedicated vaginal birth and was disappointed to hear that my OB scheduled an induction. This led to some anxieties. Morgan was a good listener and very resourceful, supporting us in making the best informed decisions.
Sometimes things just don’t go as planned - My water broke spontaneously earlier than the planned date and my labor started shortly after. Morgan came into the hospital overnight and had great teamwork with the nurses, me and my partner.
She noticed the little things that made a big difference and adapted to our changing needs from hour to hour. I squeezed her hands tightly and breathed through bigger waves of contractions, and she helped soothe me when I had leg cramps. When my exhausted partner needed a break, Morgan was there to give him some much-needed rest. Overall, we loved her calming and encouraging presence and the practical, flexible approach.
She’s an amazing doula, and we won’t hesitate to work with her again when we next grow our family!
