To say that I was lucky to have LeNay as my doula would be an understatement. My husband and I feel beyond blessed that LeNay was willing and able to be a part of my labor and delivery journey. From my initial meeting with LeNay, she was incredibly warm and welcoming, and I could tell she had so much love to give; that sort of love emanated through every encounter with her, and also toward every interaction with my family members (I applaud you for your patience, LeNay!). Before meeting LeNay, I knew she had five children of her own so she could strongly relate to what I was experiencing. I was determined to have a natural birth, which I laid out in a birth plan that LeNay helped me create. Unfortunately, the way my baby was positioned in utero caused me to have a long, grueling labor and my birth plan was begrudgingly modified. LeNay was present, in all forms, to be an advocate and resource for me when I had to make decisions to assist in the progression of my labor. She gave me the strength I needed to carry on despite the unrelenting, paralyzing back pain I was experiencing. LeNay provided guidance at a time in my life where fear and anxiety were starting to take over and showed me how capable I was to push through despite extreme exhaustion. I can’t convey in words how much I appreciated her determination to do whatever it took, emotionally and physically, to help me get through the labor and delivery of my beautiful daughter. Thank you, LeNay, for being the anchor for my husband and me during such a momentous time of our lives.
Love, Aileen
