Testimonial for Amber Hackworth, ICBD
Amber was the perfect addition to our labor team. As first time parents, we were somewhat anxious about all of the unknowns and uncertainties that come along with labor, and she helped calm those fears and concerns both before labor by answering my many questions by text and then during labor at the hospital. She helped us to know what to expect and when and what was likely to come next. She was a consistent voice and advocate for my wishes with nursing staff and family during a multi-day labor due to being induced. I went into labor with an interest in natural birth and avoiding the cascade of interventions but also a willingness to take things as they came and she helped me feel supported and heard as we considered and made decisions to get my very slow labor going in a way that was aligned with my goals and ideals. She struck the perfect balance between my labor plan and the hospitals' plans for my labor and helped me to have the most beautiful birthing experience. She also helped us to laugh and relax in the lighter stages of labor. I ended up having an epidural and she helped me to optimize the timing of when we took that step so that my labor didn't stall out after working so hard to make progress. She helped me feel physically and emotionally comfortable in a very challenging birth and I'm so grateful for her presence as we brought my son into this world. Not to mention, she snapped one of my most favorite photos in this world immediately after birth with me holding our son for the first time and my husband watching in the background. Thank you, Amber!
