Testimonial for Abby Corbett
Everytime we reminisce about our birth experience, my husband, mother, mother-in-law, and basically everyone that was involved says, "I'm so glad Abby was there." I AM so glad we hired Abby to be my doula.
Just a few months ago, I had my first baby. It was a planned home birth so I was excited and terrified of going through a natural birth at the same time. Abby was there for me the second I hired her up until a couple of weeks after baby was born. She was the one I texted when I passed my mucus plug and went into labor. I was nervous, but her reply of excitment and assurance made me feel so much better. She drove to my house as soon as I decided I needed her. Just having her with me throughout the contractions brought me--and my husband--peace.
Something I loved about Abby was her ability to coach not only me, but my husband through the entire process. She made sure he was involved and taught him how to be there for me. It was evident that she wanted it to be a special experience for US.
Because it was my first time, I didn't know what to expect or ask for, but Abby was thoughtful and present the whole time and did exactly what I needed. Sometimes I felt like giving up and she was the one offering the encouragement I needed to keep going, especially at the end. I remember feeling so motivated when she was cheering for me those last few minutes.
I didn't hire a photographer because we already had a midwife, her apprentice, Abby, and my husband in the bedroom, but she took some pictures and videos with her iphone when my baby was first born. I didn't even ask her to do that but those simple videos and pictures mean the world to me.
All in all, she made my birth space and exprience comfortable and postiive. Her kindness and gentleness what EXACTLY what I needed and what every momma deserves! She's an amazing doula and life-long friend.
