Testimonial for Morgan Hayward, CD(DONA)
Morgan was present at the birth of both of our daughters. Before labor, she shared so many great resources to help us prepare for the birthing experience and to help guide us through the tough newborn phase. Both of my daughters went well past their due dates and Morgan was incredibly helpful with responding to my desperate texts and giving me tips and tricks to tackle my anxiety and distract myself from over thinking everything.
Both of my daughters had to be induced. Morgan had great communication, checking in with my progress and my mental state. When my labor finally started progressing, Morgan was at the hospital in record time. She immediately stepped in to help support me and my partner. This included walking laps around the labor and delivery floor, holding my hand and comforting me during contractions, supplying endless suggestions of how to make each contraction less painful, guiding me through breathing patterns, providing encouraging words when I felt helpless, and so much more. Morgan was really helpful in asking great clarifying questions when the midwives and nurses were updating me on my progress and instructing us on next steps. After both of my daughters were born, Morgan made sure to take so many pictures of our family's first moments together. These pictures are some of my most prized possessions, as they are a beautiful reminder of when my life changed forever.
After our first experience with Morgan, we could think of no other support person for our second labor experience. She is so knowledgeable and goes out of her way to stayed updated with current practices. She really listens to what you want out of your birthing experience and supports you towards that goal. She is so encouraging and is truly there to help support you through your birthing experience. If we are blessed with a third baby, we will being asking Morgan to help support us again. She is amazing!
