I cannot say enough good things about Leslie! In fact, I feel awful that its taken me nearly 4 months to get my head on straight enough to sit down and write a thank you! The meetings before my delivery were informative and helpful. Leslie immediately made my husband and I feel at ease about the pregnancy and delivery and even gave us some fantastic documentaries to watch that helped with our decisions during labor and delivery. Then on Thanksgiving morning, at 0130, I woke up to extremely hard and close together contractions, so much that I could barely make it to the hospital. Leslie met us there in the triage section of the maternity ward where they refused to actually admit me until I was 5 centimeters. Leslie came in and sat with me and helped me through my contractions. I know now that my birth was unusual due to her being sunny side up, but the pain was unreal and Leslie helped me with massage, breathing, lavender oil, and focusing on happy things. Although I ended up with an epidural and it was a 22 hour long process with 3 1/2 hours of pushing, Leslie was there to support all of us! I mean myself, my mother, my mother-in-law and my husband! She was informative, respectful, and an advocate for me! I couldn't have asked for a more calm and collected person in the labor room!!! She took the best pictures for us as well. Leslie, I'm so sorry I haven't been in touch since we moved so soon after the delivery but I want you to know that I'm so glad God put you in my life to help me give birth to my beautiful girl! Thank you from the very bottom of my heart for all your support, encouragement, and comfort! You truly are a blessing as a person and a doula!!!!
