"I had no idea what a doula was when I first got pregnant. All I knew is that I wanted to have a natural birth. Once I started telling my friends this desire they all laughed at me telling me it wasn't possible. I was of course determined not only to have my birth story read the way I wanted it to but to also prove the naysayers wrong! Lucky for me I found Maggie because she was AWESOME! I thought she was such a present for me as a mom but I had no idea how invaluable she would be to my husband. She gave him the confidence to be my partner in labor and to take hold of his duty. She equipped him with the tools to assist me and that brought us closer together as a couple. I went into labor so quickly that had my husband not had those tools and the instruction from Maggie it would have been so much more stressful. Thank you SO much Maggie for everything and we hope to keep in touch for a long time!!"

"All i can say is WOW!! Maggie was a BIG help.  She helped soo much throughout my labor with positioning and counterpressure. My little guy was pretty stubborn in not wanting to come out and he was in a position causing awful back labor. Maggie totally helped throughout with applying pressure, she knew exactly what to do. And in her helping me stay in a position(which i hated at the time lol) prevented me from getting c-section cause the little guy turned due to her putting me in position:).  And on top of all that the hours she helped me labor thru, she was pregnant herself so i cant even imagine how exhausted she was too helping me out! And not to mention all the questions i had for her during the pregnancy. She was Great my husband and I loved having her with us. Thanks Again!!!"

"When I got pregnant, I assumed I would have an epidural. Talking to Maggie, I realized that there were a lot of benefits to waiting as long as possible before getting one, so we spent a long time at home before finally going to the hospital. I moved around a lot and changed positions, waiting for the pain to be completely intolerable. But when I finally reached that point, Maggie reminded me that I wanted to be checked before the epidural was placed, and I was already at 9cm! Needless to say, I had an unmedicated birth, and I don't know if I could have done it without Maggie's words of encouragement and support. Thank you!"
