I had a beautiful experience with Leslie. I was so scared for this VBAC but Leslie was very encouraging even before my labor started and she would share motivating stuff with me over email and text. We both connected very well. She always served as a beautiful reminder that my body has all the wisdom and I just need to listen to my body.
I called her as soon as my labor started and she got to the hospital as soon as we got there. Initilaly when doctor informed us that it might be false labor, I got very discouraged but Leslie tried her best to keep me positive and motivated. Baby was sunny side up which was causing lot of back pain. Leslie tried couple of things to change the position of the baby which was very helpful. Soon my labor started progressing. The whole time,Leslie kept on doing different things to keep labor going and help me cope with the pain. She was constantly pressing the points and rubbing my back which was so relaxing.
Finally after a night long labor, we had our baby girl at 7:45 AM with vaginal delivery. I can say with certainity that this normal delivery wouldnt have been possible without her love and support. I am sooo thankful to Leslie to help me through this delivery which was so beautiful and spiritual. She made my heart smile. I am grateful to God who connected me with Leslie. I hope she continues to help many more mothers like me help me with this beautful process of delivering their babies naturally.
Thank you Leslie from the bottom oof my heart!
