Testimonial for Morgan Mainous
I work in healthcare, in anesthesia, and I feel that in the majority of uncomplicated births, having the right doula may be more influential to your birth experience than your epidural plans. Morgan was amazing and helped shape my birth experience for not only me, but my significant other as well. Even before I arrived at the hospital, she gave advice on specific interventions that are overlooked by our conventional maternal healthcare. She was there for me the whole time, advocating for me. As contractions got more intense she knew right where to apply therapeutic touch and she knew instinctively when the contraction was happening- I didn’t have to ask her. We tried different positions which were amazingly effective in progressing the delivery and helping move things along. Staff at the hospital have other responsibilities of their job (for instance retrieving equipment or documentation) that preclude them from uninterrupted hands-on focus on you and your partner. She worked well with hospital staff who later complemented her services. She took pictures and short videos of the experience which were impressively skilled at maintaining my privacy. She was helpful before delivery with pregnancy questions from tips on good mom to mom sales or recommended learning resources, during delivery, and postpartum with a much appreciated home visit to make sure all is going well and answer any questions I might have.
I highly recommend her and will use her again for any future births I may have.
