Testimonial for Leigh Cawthorn, Birth Doula, Childbirth Educator
I knew I needed support if I was going to give natural birth after having a c-section. I got together with Leigh before birth, and went over laboring positions and what my desires for my birth were.
Leigh, along with a wonderful mutual friend, Diani, made it possible for me to have the birth I’ve always wanted. I’ve given birth 3 times and this was by far my favorite birth experience. She is so knowledgeable about labor and is great at communication.
Whenever I had questions, I reached out to Leigh. She had all the answers and helped calm any of my nerves!! When it was time to go to the hospital (about 9pm at night), Leigh was there before I even got there! After getting there, it was a short 6 hours of active labor before I gave birth to my beautiful baby girl.
Leigh encouraged me every step of the way, had all the tools & was such a light in the room. Between contractions, we were laughing and having a good ole time. She advocated for me & my wants. So much so that before I even made it to my room, the on call doctor was already suggesting they break my water and put me on an epidural (due to high risk from my previous c-section even though my OB told me I had an 83% chance of successful VBAC). Leigh knew that was not what I wanted. Had I not had her support, who knows what I would have ended up giving in to.
My baby girl made it safely into the world & It was honestly one of the most powerful things I’ve accomplished. She stayed a few hours after birth as well. And came and visited me at home with my baby girl. She provided resources for postpartum healing & breastfeeding as well as meals.
100/10 would recommend. She was truly sent by God to be the support I needed. A complete blessing. If you have the opportunity to choose someone to support you during pregnancy, labor and postpartum, Leigh is the woman you want!! ??
