Hi Sue,
I have been meaning to email you for
ages since our calmbirth® classes with
you in March. Mal and I were so pleased
that we had come along and felt so
secure with all the knowledge you
equipped us with.
I was due on the 8th June but there was
no sign of our baby wanting to come out
into the world and eventually two weeks
later we were booked into the hospital
for induction. Thankfully 2 doses of gel
and a long day at the hospital got
things started enough and my waters were
able to be broken around 11pm on the
22nd June and from that point on, there
was no stopping our little baby coming
out and coming quickly. 3hr 44min later
at 2.38am on the 23rd June our baby
girl, Mia McArthur Russell was born
naturally and without any pain relief
needed (for either Mal or myself!).
We were able to achieve the natural and
wonderous birth that we were aiming for
and although had to surrender to a few
minor medical interventions and
monitoring we knew we were educated and
could make the necessary decisions.
The whole experience was amazing and
obviously life changing and I am quite
certain would not have been possible to
get through without the knowledge and
skills that we learned from your
classes. Although I wasn't confident
during the later parts of the birth that
I was using my breathing properly, Mal
and our midwife have since told me that
they were both amazed at how much of a
calm place I was able to put myself
into.
Again many thanks for passing on your
experience and knowledge to us.
Regards, Lea and Mal
