Testimonial for Morgan Hayward, CD(DONA)
Morgan was absolutely fantastic to work with! I interviewed three potential doulas and chose Morgan because she's very organized, thoughtful, and has a calming presence. She met with my partner and I twice in our home to chat about what to expect in the labor & delivery process, giving us a detailed run-down of her tips, including several things we hadn't thought of that ended up being super helpful. I ended up needing a scheduled induction, which was not what I wanted, but Morgan helped me process that and what to expect from it. I had a tough, long induction that almost turned into a C-section, finally took off on the third day, and included a failed epidural that needed to be replaced -- all things that required tough decisions and attempts to interface with nurses and doctors, that I would not have felt prepared to manage by myself. Morgan was invaluable throughout my entire labor process -- I can't imagine how I would have gotten through the long slog of the transitional phase without her counting breaths and giving me reassurance and support throughout! I really can't recommend her enough. If you're considering hiring a doula, 1) DO IT and 2) hire Morgan!
