Testimonial for Vickie Fernandez Wint
When I think back to the day and night and day of our baby June’s birth, I feel so incredibly grateful to Vickie. I was induced, so I was stuck in bed and hooked up to things from the start. I think if it had just been my wife Rachel and myself, I would have stayed frozen in bed the entire 26 hours, scared of doing something wrong in the hospital setting. But Vickie was with us for the entire time, and she made the delivery room ours – making the space quiet or dark as necessary, keeping me moving and active despite the wires (which I had told her was my priority), being a source of extreme calm and reassurance during a scary 3am medical moment, and anticipating both of our needs before we even realized them ourselves. Rachel and I had each other, of course, and the nurses and doctors were great, but Vickie filled the birth experience with confidence, good-spirit, and energy – to her, pregnancy and birth are such joyful, meaningful, beautiful parts of life, that she helps you feel that too, even during tough moments. Vickie also approaches pregnancy and birth in a very non-gendered way, which we appreciated.
