Testimonial for Tracy Abney
Being a first time mom, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do for my daughters birth. After researching several options, I decided that I wanted to have as natural a birth as possible and I wanted a doula. We met and interviewd Tracy and felt she was our perfect fit. My husband was a little skeptical at first, but now he tells guys he works with that are pregnant they should hire a doula and that they won't regret it!! They not only are providing support for you, but also for your husband.
During pregnancy she gave tons of tips to aid during that time, and also a list of things that we would like to have after our birth that we never would have thought of!
Labor and Delievery: I started contractions around noon on August 7th.I let her know and told her I would keep her updated. Around 5:30pm the contractions were becoming harder. I called her and said things were progressing, but we were handling it okay at that point. At around 10:00 or so, we called and said we were ready for her. Things were becoming more painful and closer together. Tracy came to my house and helped us labor at home until about midnight. She was so supportive and giving different things to help during contractions. Around midnight we went to the hospital. My daughter was born aorund 10:30am. During this time Tracy was such a huge support for me and my husband. She talked through contractions, provided positive support, massage, aromatherapy, we got in shower, tub, counterpressure during contractions, relief for hubby to go get coffee and bathroom and not feel bad about leaving. She was very knowledgeable about labor, stages of labor, interventions, decoding what the doctors/nurses said, ect. If we decide to have another one, after I tell my husband we are pregnant my next phone call would be to Tracy no doubt!
