Testimonial for Abby Corbett
Abby was our doula in April 2024. She was an invaluable part of the birth process. I ended up needing to be induced as baby was quite comfortable inside past his due date. Abby joined us once things got rolling- and then kept rolling. And kept rolling. The whole induction was almost 3 solid days, and Abby was there for all of the intense parts, including the ones where I broke down wondering if I made the right choice, and in the operating room once it was extremely clear my little one would not come out the traditional way. She kept my partner from worrying (too much) about leaving to get food, or take a nap once I had an epidural- and helped walk him through the process when it was clear surgery was needed. Abby took pictures in the delivery and helped me have baby skin to skin while the OB was making sure all was good and my partner was a bit concerned about seeing my internal organ on the outside of my body.
I'm a midwife and I still benefited immensely from having Abby there for comfort and position changes and reminders and being able to tell my partner that yes, it really was OK for him to go get food or coffee during that 3 day ordeal. She ultimately was with us for a solid 24 hours. Think about how much you would charge someone to stay with them for that long, with very little sleep, with almost no notice- doulas are worth every penny, regardless the outcome of the birth. I've worked with a lot of doulas and Abby is there with the best of them. I highly recommend her attendance during your labor.
