Testimonial for Vickie Fernandez Wint
This is an honest and heartfelt review of Vickie who was our support person and Doula during my labor on June 26 and our son's birth on June 27. Once Vickie got the call that I was in labor, she was on top of making sure I felt supported and answered any questions along the way. I Labored at home with my husband for six hours. She was on the phone with us periodically and when I felt like I needed her support, she responded "Ill be there in 20 mins". She didn't question whether or not I was in "active" labor or use that as a time to say that I didn't need anybody there, but instead, she dropped everything and immediately came to my side. At home she created a beautiful ambience, applied counterpressure when i needed it and make the judgement call of when to actuallyh leave for the hospital. She held my hand while on the way there and wven got in some photos of a tough but poignant moment. Once we got to NYU, where I ultimately delivered, she advocated for me, asking questions to doctors and nurses when i couldnt and also affirming my preferences to the medical staff when i told them i did or didn't want something. When I ultimately had to make a difficult decision of electing a C-section, Vickie was there to powwow with my husband and I and talk through our decision together. She waited in the recovery room as I was being operated on and afterward she was one of the first faces I would see besides my husband and my baby! She stayed with me to greet the baby and to teach me a few tips on breast-feeding, but also new one to give a space so we can spend time together as a family. All in all she was a great friend, advocate and her knowledge brought this experience together for us. Will never forget her support and now our baby Gavin has her to thank for being so amazing to his mommy and daddy! Thank u so much Vickie!! We love u ??
