Ok so the vaginal birth was amazing. I had the most wonderful husband to support me. I was blessed to have the best doula in the world. Leslie Cuffee was there until the very end. She captured the amazing moment my baby came out. The moments that I could not have seen cause, it went by so fast. She helped my husband to keep a clear mind and helped me to stand for what my heart really wanted for my birth. She educated me about all my options before hand. I felt so comfortable with her being in the room and I even felt supported after my little angel was born.
Now do not get me wrong the contractions were hard, my husband and Leslie got my through every one of the right to the birth. I did not have to have an epidural. I was having contractions for 15 hours. I did not have to push or anything. Leslie thought us pressure points to calm me down and music to relax me. By time I begged them to give me the epidural, her head was right there. I could not even sit on the edge of the bed to get that needle in my back. When they laid me back down she slide out. I was one of the lucky ones to have an orgasmic birth. I went from 4 cm to 8cm in like 5 seconds. Crazy right, I know I feel blessed I did not have to push for hours. I just had to go through the contractions. She weighted 4.3lb and 18 ¼ in. She had to stay in nicu for like 10 days, but I was so happy to bring her home. I feel that Leslie helped me to make this a successful vaginal birth.
Thank you Leslie....all love!
