Megan Mendoza Birth & Postpartum Doula in Darien, CT
About Megan
My name is Megan Mendoza, I’m a birth doula and am passionate about educating birthing people and helping them learn about their options when it comes to childbirth and postpartum. I have an incredible husband, David. Together we have two amazing and very energetic little boys Grover and August, and a sweet heart of a dog Lola. As a family we love to hike and travel as much as we can. While I was pregnant with our second (August) we traveled full time in a school bus converted into a tiny house. This is when I really found my voice to advocate for myself. Everyone thought (and told us several times!) that we were crazy for having a young toddler and expanding our family while we didn’t have a "typical" house. But I knew that it was possible and that I was going to have the birth I had dreamed about. A few months later I was able to have an empowered V-BAC birth. Through this experience I discovered my love for helping women find their own voices and to help advocate for themselves to have the empowered births they desire, whatever that may be.
Birth & Postpartum Doula services
When you choose me to be your Doula, we will have two prenatal visits during which we will go over multiple comfort strategies for a labor, and build a birth plan together, we will also talk about any fears you may have and if you would like to specialize your care with me. I will be there for your entire labor and birth, and I will stay for two hours afterwards depending on the hospital/birth center policy. We will also do one postpartum visit together.
