<p style=”text-align: left;”><span style=”font-size: 11px;”>Hey everyone! My name is Bethany Pendley, I am so excited and so honored to lead this group!! I’m a Texas native, a wife, a stay at home mom to two littles and a childbirth educator in training. </span>

<span style=”font-size: 11px;”>I met Abbey in a breastfeeding class in 2018 while I was pregnant with my first, though at the time I hadn’t planned on having a doula, I fell in love with Abbey and her support so she became my doula for life. </span>

<span style=”font-size: 11px;”>I gave birth to my son Barry in April of 2019 at a birth center and though I was super nervous to breastfeed I immediately started trying to latch him. During the first several months Barry and I struggled a lot in our breastfeeding journey so I learned a lot more than I ever expected just in the first few months of being a new mom.</span>

<span style=”font-size: 11px;”>I became pregnant with my daughter Zoe 7 months postpartum, and shortly after at 9 months postpartum I weaned my son due to some issues with my pregnancy. </span>

<span style=”font-size: 11px;”>Zoe was born August 2020 happy, healthy and a pro at the breast crawl so she latch immediately, and we plan on breastfeeding as long as we can. </span>

<span style=”font-size: 11px;”>I am super excited that you’ve decided to join this support group. I cannot wait to connect with each of you, and answer all your questions and concerns about breastfeeding.</span><!–/data/user/0/com.samsung.android.app.notes/files/clipdata/clipdata_bodytext_201118_155005_082.sdocx–></p>
