“I listened to my body, said my affirmations and cannot believe that everything went so smoothly”

We love hearing your birth stories and this one made us smile:) Thank you Jenny for sharing

“I just wanted to message you to say a big “Thank you”! I started finding out about your Calm Birth school just over a month ago and I started listening to your relaxation and Powerball mp3s and practiced the breathing (relaxation, wave and release) techniques straight away.

I also downloaded your book and read it from cover to cover, highlighting aspects that were important to myself. I had started to get very anxious about the impending delivery but these techniques etc really calmed me down and helped me become more level-headed.

Less than a month later, I gave birth to my gorgeous baby boy after a totally natural and quick labour, in a birthing pool! I was very lucky as the midwives at the birth centre were really supportive of my giving birth the “calm” way and did not examine me at any point. They (and I) trusted my body knew what to do.

I listened to my body, said my affirmations and cannot believe that everything went so smoothly. I didn’t even need any stitches as only had a first degree tear. What a difference to the birth experience I had when I gave birth to my daughter six and a half years ago. Thank you again”
