Testimonial for Tracy Abney
I knew I wanted a doula for my second pregnancy because I wanted a VBAC after a c section for “big baby” with my daughter. Tracy was highly recommended to me by both my OB and by friends of mine that are involved in the Huntsville ICAN group. Tracy made us comfortable from the very first meeting and was there to answer my questions and concerns through out my pregnancy. When my baby turned transverse breach at 38 weeks she talked me through my options and gave me the information I needed to continue to fight for my VBAC. When I went into labor she talked me through what to expect and how to manage my labor at home. As soon as my labor was too much to manage on my own she came right over and helped me navigate the hospital. She made sure the atmosphere was calm and soothing in the labor room and helped me manage the pain of contractions. When it was time to push, I pushed for two hours and she cheered me on every step of the way. She was constantly moving to make sure I had cold towels for my face and water in between contractions and somehow was able to get amazing photos of my birth.
Tracy was amazing and I would not have been able to achieve my VBAC goal without her. My husband was skeptical about the need for a doula but now he will tell you that it was the best decision we made for the birth of our son. I just wish I knew I needed her when my daughter was born in 2015. If we decide to have another baby in the future we would definitely want Tracy to be there. Her knowledge and ability to make us feel comfortable is invaluable.
