So this is me. Maybe 30 minutes after my son was born.

The whole experience was wonderful. Born at home, quick and with midwives.

I truly do wish I had a birth doula. I remember talking to my now doula/friend/inspiration, wishing she was there with us. But she was in BC and I was in Toronto. It just didn’t work. We should have FaceTimed.

Someone to be there for Me. Talk me through the internal panicking. Remind me that things are ok. Be the person to help my husband who was trying keep our other 2 kids in bed. Someone to take a photo (this is the only one I have!). Someone to just Help. Someone to tell me what happened after, because I couldn’t remember (and husbands aren’t always helpful with that).

So many reasons that didn’t seem necessary at the time, but in hindsight were so much better with a doula at my side for my last birth. Someone there for ME.

(I also wished my midwives moved to Nanaimo with me. They were amazing!)

A quick post to introduce myself! I’m Megan, a Mom of 3 and a surro-Mom of one.

After 3 babies without a Doula, my last birth I decided to try one and immediately wished I had one for my first 3 babies. She also inspired me to go ‘back to school’ to get certified as a labour and birth doula - and here I am!

I live in North with my family and would love to help anyone out. Please reach out if you are interested in a birth doula or know someone that is!

Birth work has become a passion of mine, outside of my 9-5. So even if you simply have questions, please ask away!
