Megan was our doula and she helped me navigate my very unexpected birth. I have had 3 prior births but my fourth came with curve balls. If it wasn't for Megan coming to help provide comfort and a sense of stability I don't know if I could have relaxed enough to go into labor. During my planned home birth we couldn't get a hold of my midwife she had went out of town the weekend after I turned 42 weeks. Megan came and comforted me and my husband. Megan helped support us during the difficult decisions we had to make in the moment. I can not express how thankful I am that she was able to support us giving me the space to cry and the gentle reminder I needed that regardless I was going to have a baby and my feelings were valid but I needed to refocus to the moment so I could practice relaxation to manage my labor. So I was able to cry and remember that I was safe, my baby was safe, and my three older children were safe. My labor was only 8 hours and my baby was 11lbs (no gd I just make big babies) and healthy, delivered vaginally with no tears.
