Testimonial for Abbie Alvey IBCLC, CD(DONA)
This was our first birth experience, and not knowing what to expect we were so grateful to have hired Abbie. She was an amazing resource and support for me before, during and after delivery. The two in-home prenatals were a great addition to our group classes. It helped establish the trust and relationship that was needed in the delivery room. My birth plan was to deliver without any added drugs, and indeed I was able to meet that plan because of Abbie. My mother and husband were also in the room, but it was Abbie that really made the natural labor and delivery a special and truly joyful experience for us all. She knew when i was "losing it" and could get me back into my breathing. She understood my own thresholds for pain and the emotional attachment that comes with each moan and grunt. I really felt the presence of a caring and nurturing professional in the room. Abbie was a great addition to my delivery team, and both my mother and husband were so thankful that she was there in the room. Her postpartum visits were also so helpful since they focused on breast feeding. She really is a wealth of knowledge and so very easy to work with. I will definitely, 100%, be using her for our second birth. I can't imagine not having Abbie with us.
Thank you, Abbie, for everything!!!
Love,
Jennifer, Bryan and Sophia Blake
