“I felt in control of our choices and respected”

The beautiful Greta Skye coming into the world.  Thanks for sharing your birthing story Ty x

“Hello TCBS lovelies! Our amazing little breechling daughter finally made her appearance last Tuesday and what a journey it was.

I can’t thank Suzy and TCBS enough.  My labour was 73 hours long in the end but we got through every contraction with the help of the breathing techniques I had learned, and we listened to the affirmations over and over again on repeat.

We finally had to accept that we needed a c-section but it was carried out beautifully by the staff at St Thomas’ Hospital and the whole time (although completely exhausted!) I felt in control of our choices and respected.  I feel really proud that we were able to try our hardest for a VBB.

Greta Skye Mansell was born at 1.31am on the 20th Sept weighing 7lbs and she is a little angel! Xxx”
