Testimonial for Melanie Conn (MM, CPD, PD)
My husband and I hired Melanie as our doula and we are so incredibly glad we did. Melanie was a huge part of why my birth experience was positive and empowering and we would 100% choose her all over again. Prior to childbirth, Melanie stayed in touch, checked in frequently as my due date approached, and answered questions as we considered options if labor did not start spontaneously. I went into labor early Christmas morning and Melanie talked my husband and me through things on the phone all night and arrived at our house to support us laboring at home as long as possible. I don't think I would have stayed at home that long otherwise and I am so glad I did, as I was able to move around more and be more comfortable in my environment. She was an incredible advocate for us at the hospital, getting me to the labor tub and switching midwives when we weren't pleased with the one we met. I ended up requesting an epidural and Melanie was 100% supportive, she supported me through labor without one and supported me with one. I felt totally empowered the entire time. The epidural stalled labor quite a bit and Melanie went home to rest while we rested, but was easily accessible by phone for all conversations and she came back once we started getting things moving. She provided much needed support and positivity during pushing and checked in on us regularly early postpartum. A doula is an absolute must for every birthing person and we are so thankful to have Melanie on our side!
