Meredeth Adams - Birth & Postpartum Doula

About Meredeth

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here! My name is Meredeth! I'm a Christian first, wife to my high-school sweetheart of nearly ten years, and a mom of five. We homeschool, love slow mornings, sunshine, coffee, tea, and good books. I'm also a big fan of DIY projects and thrifting — anything that brings creativity and joy into our home. At the heart of my work is a simple mission: to glorify God in everything I do and share the love of Christ. I believe birth is not a medical event to be managed — it is a profound, physiological process your body already knows how to do. Whether you choose a home birth, birth center, or hospital, my role is to walk alongside you with evidence based support, a calm presence, and belief in you!

What to expect

Hello and welcome! I’m Meredeth, a passionate full scope doula, postpartum support specialist, and newborn care provider — and most importantly, a mom of five beautiful children. Having experienced a wide variety of birth journeys myself, including induction, cesarean, VBAC, and natural birth center deliveries, I understand firsthand the joys, challenges, and transformative power of pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood. Living for two years in a maternal-fetal care desert opened my eyes to the critical need for compassionate, evidence-based doula care in underserved communities. This experience ignited my passion to support families who might otherwise face limited access to nurturing, informed assistance during such a pivotal time in their lives. My mission is to provide personalized, empathetic care tailored to your unique journey—whether through birth doula support, postpartum nurturing, newborn care expertise, or breastfeeding counseling. I am committed to walking beside you with understanding and respect, helping you feel empowered, supported, and heard from pregnancy through postpartum and beyond. Every family deserves access to compassionate care that honors their story. I look forward to partnering with you to create a positive, affirming experience during this beautiful time of transformation. Welcome, and thank you for trusting me to support you and your growing family.

What a joy Meredeth is! Warm, knowledgeable, helpful, and kind. I truly could not have asked for a better night nanny. From the very beginning I felt at ease knowing my baby was in her care. Not only does she provide excellent infant care among her many talents, she is also a wonderful listening ear and friend to her clients. She will be greatly missed around our home but I am so happy to have met her and learned so much from her. If you’re apprehensive about hiring help, Meredeth will certainly disarm any anxieties you may have and give you the gentle care and trust all new parents need.

Meredeth has been an incredible support to both me and my family throughout my birth and postpartum experience. She was worth every dollar we invested and more. Although we began working together later in my fourth trimester, she immediately made me feel comfortable and supported. She helped me navigate important conversations with my doctor, guided me through exercises, and mentally prepared me for the VBAC I was hoping for. When I went into labor, Meredeth stayed in close contact, texting me consistently until I asked her to come to the hospital. Once there, she provided constant, hands-on support helping me through contractions with massage, positioning techniques, ice, bone broth and reassurance. With her guidance, the pain felt far more manageable. Whenever the doctors came in, Meredeth helped me fully understand what was being communicated so I could make informed decisions without feeling discouraged. She remained by my side for over 24 hours while I labored. When I ultimately needed a C-section, she took the time to follow up with the doctors afterward to gather information for me to review later. Even though my birth didn’t go exactly as planned, Meredeth ensured that my experience still felt empowering and supported. Her postpartum visits have also made a significant positive impact on my mental health. I wholeheartedly recommend Meredeth to anyone seeking a compassionate, knowledgeable, and dedicated doula. I would absolutely choose to work with her again in the future.
