Testimonial for Leslie Cuffee
I didnt get ahold of Leslie until i was maybe three weeks or four from my due date but even at the first meeting I felt like i had known her for months. She is very personable and friendly, she came to the house and met my husband and i and was even friendly to our dogs. I didnt know anything about what a doula was and what she did, all i knew was that my sister had one and thought she would be very helpful as i was and am 12 hours away from my family so i would be going through my birth by myself aside from my husband. There was even a time that we thought that my husband may have been out to sea for my daughters birth and i actually felt some what ok with that because of Leslie. . I went into labor at about 4am so my husband called and even though she had been asleep she asked if she could take a shower, My husband being a first time dad didnt really know what to say, i guess he sound a little panicked because i was in a bit of pain so she came right back.. I had expressed my want to have no pain medication so as i progressed in my labor she helped me with my breathing and rubbing my feet (this was very relaxing to me)I made it to 9cm with out needing the epidural. I ended up needing to have a c section, and Leslie helped me not to panic. Leslie stayed and waited until i came out of the c section and even a while after before leaving. She then came back the next day and then 2 days after to see how i was doing. Leslie helped me a lot and still does, when i have a question about the baby all i have to do is email her or call if i so chose and she is always right there ready and willing to help me.I would and do recomend having a doula to any one and I recomend Leslie as well. Leslie is a great person and an amazing doula!
