Everyone should have Leslie there for thier birth, no matter what kind of birth you are planning.
Not only did she ease my fears, but my husbands as well. Thinking about it later, I realized she was very smart in getting to know me and asking me about things that made me happy when things got intense during my labor.
It was as if when she touched me and squeezed my hips during contractions, the pain just disappeared. It was also so comforting to have her there to tell me things like "All that blood is normal." so I didn't freak out.
Also, when it came time to push, I had a few complications, and her straight face and peaceful demeaner really helped me feel in control and I was able to push my baby out in enough time that we were both healthy and happy.
I came away with a feeling of gratitude that I could never quite put into words. She was born to do this and I couldn't thank her enough.
Hire Leslie! I promise you wont regret it.
