We loved hearing Jo’s birth story and had to share it with you all:)
“Just thought I’d drop a mail to say I was so impressed with the calm birth school. Initially I was sceptical about calm and pain free birth.
But… I had my second baby on Thursday and the experience was really amazing (so different to the first). It started around 3:30pm with my waters breaking and some light surges. I immediately went and put on the affirmations for birth MP3 (which was subsequently on repeat for the entire labour) and sat on a birthing ball. The surges were easy to manage.
I told myself to just enjoy each one and to try and see them as something pleasant. They quickly became closer but I told the midwives I felt fine and so we agreed I’d stay home until I felt ready. When they were around 3 or less minutes apart we decided it was probably time to go (even though I was still smiling and chatting). They commented that I probably wasn’t far yet though because of how happy and relaxed it all seemed to be. We left home around 8pm.
The midwives began to fill the bath (I hoped for a water birth). I had one strong surge and then she checked to see how far we were. As soon as I lay down on my side I hear her say she could see the head. I was absolutely blown away as I had felt no pain whatsoever. I suddenly felt like pushing and baby was born after just 3 pushes after a total of only 5 hours! The midwives were really great and happy I was doing Hypnobirthing. They thought it was a lovely calm birth.
No tears and no tears 🙂
They even filled the pool again for me so I could relax there for a while afterwards.
Her name is Nefeli and she is a calm and happy baby. I remember everything about the birth and can honestly say I enjoyed it all. I’ll certainly recommend it to others 🙂
Thanks so much!”
