Janna’s Incredible Sideways Birth!

“I just wanted to share my birth story and thank Suzy and Hollie for creating The Calm Birth School! I had my rainbow baby boy, Lennon Francis, on 16th October at 10:52am. He was born at home weighing a whopping 8lbs9oz and 22” long.

I was 40 weeks and 6 days and definitely feeling frustrated due to my increasing discomfort, but thankfully the mp3s got me through it! My labour was quite intense and I definitely tried my best to remember to use my breathing techniques and my wonderful husband would remind me to breathe and “open”. It took almost a full two hours of very hard pushing because my little guy was born SIDEWAYS! My midwife said in her 30 years of practicing she has seen that 3 times (including my birth).

I honestly know I would not have been able to dig deep and follow my dream birth of birthing at home if it had not been for all my practice with TCBS. Thank you ladies for this wonderful program- it certainly got my mind in the place I needed to be!
