My husband and I cannot say enough glowing things about Abby. From the very first time we met her, we felt comfortable and at ease. She is full of knowledge, empathy and enthusiasm and would be the perfect addition to any birth team.
She provided two prenatal appointments where we talked about our fears, preferences and hopes and she shared her "bag of tricks" so that we would all feel empowered and prepared when the big day finally arrived. She was fully accessible via phone and text throughout my pregnancy and was full of encouragement and ideas when I went past my due date.
In labor, she was amazing. I went into labor at 9:30 p.m. and went to the hospital at 12:30 a.m. She arrived by 1 a.m. and almost never left the room until an hour after delivery. She kept me and my husband at ease, helped to advocate for our preferences with the hospital staff and had lots of ideas about positioning and techniques to help with contractions. Things got rough at the end of my labor, with a failed epidural and the need for forceps and Abby helped my husband and I stay calm and foucsed. It was like having a best friend/mom in the room with you, but one who is able to keep their cool despite crazy circumstances.
If we decide to have more children, one of the first people we will call is Abby, we can't imagine doing "birth" without her!
