I never really knew the difference between a midwife and a doula, and after doing some research, it was obvious to my husband and I, that although we had a midwife, also having a doula would be beneficial, especially as first-time parents. Hiring Leanne was truly one of the best decisions we made. Originally, our birth plan was to have an epidural when we got to the hospital because I was really nervous about the pain, I didn't think I was strong enough to go through labour and birth without medication. With the help of Leanne, I was able to labour in the comfort of our own home until I was 7cm (I could not believe it!), and then go through the rest of my labour and birth at the hospital for hours without an epidural. Of course, things don't always go as planned, so after a few hours I opted to get an epidural, but I could not believe that I got as far as I did without one. Having Leanne there with us pushed me to feel so empowered. Leanne helped me realize how incredibly strong and powerful I really am. The whole experience was truly amazing, and Leanne played a huge part in that. She made us feel so comfortable, helped manage my pain naturally, and was another cheerleader in the room. If you are thinking about hiring a doula, Leanne should be your girl!
