    Abby was wonderful! She was my midwife for the birth of my son and I'm so glad. It was an unmedicated birth and she was patient and encouraging and when my baby's heart slowed down she took the action needed to get him out quickly & safely. At my six week appointment we discussed the birth and I was able to thank her properly for all she did. I would happily have her help with my next baby's birth.

    Very patient and kind. Gave me options about treatment/care without being pushy or making me feel pressured into something. Did her very best to make me comfortable during my exam.
