Testimonial for Melanie Conn (MM, CPD, PD)
I had my first child in 2021 and hired a doula based on one person's recommendation - it ended up not being a great fit and felt more like a business transaction than a personal relationship. For my second birth in April of 2023, I wanted a totally different experience and found Melanie through MyBirth. She was so open and warm from our fist interview, and I just had a good feeling every time I interacted with her.
She was an invaluable resource throughout pregnancy, reassuring me when I had weird symptoms, and checking in after all of my appointments. I never felt like I was bothering her, even when I was constanty complaining at the end of pregnancy.
I ended up having a very fast labor and birth, which would have been a million times scarier if I didn't have Melanie there to coach me and my husband through it. From saving us a parking spot at the hospital, to keeping a cold washcloth on my head, and constantly reassuring me that I could birth my baby (even without an epidural when I REALLY didn't think I could do it) she was exactly the doula that I needed and I would hire her again in a heartbeat. We love Melanie and I know I've had a much smoother postpartum period thanks to her ongoing support.
