Testimonial for Maggie Mau

My husband and I discovered Maggie through the doula internship at the Minnesota Birth Center. We knew throughout our pregnancy that we wanted a doula for birth as this was our first birth. We transferred to MBC at 32 weeks and connected with Maggie for the first time at 35(I think) weeks. From the start, Maggie felt like the right person for us and our journey. She listened to our story and our hopes and dreams for our labor and delivery, and always made us feel heard and supported. She has vast knowledge of different practices that are done in both hospital and birth center settings and we talked in detail about what we wanted and what our plan was in the event of a hospital transfer. She was available for every question we had and had resources to help answer those questions. She supported my goals for birth and after. Another thing that I loved with Maggie was that she made me cookies. Date cookies to prep for labor and lactation cookies for after birth. When I went into labor and felt nervous and unsure if it was time, Maggie provided support and encouragement for timing my contractions and when early labor was apparent she was at our house within the hour to support me. She also supported my husband through offering breaks for him, ensuing he was eating and drinking, and overall checking in on both of our well being. When we didn’t have snacks for the labor time she ran to the store and got us food. Her verbal, emotional, and physical support throughout my labor was amazing. Looking back I would not have wanted to do it without her there to encourage us both that I could do it. And when I felt like I was at my breaking point she continued to tell me that I could do it. In the end, Maggie was an essential part of my birth journey and team and I cannot recommend her enough. Even 5 weeks postpartum she is still checking in, providing resources and affirmations. I cannot wait to have her as part of our team in the future.
