This lovely positive birth story came in a message from Jodie and partner Dan who had their first baby.
Hi Hannah, hope you guys are staying safe and well. Myself and Dan just wanted to let you know that Mia Grace arrived 3 weeks early on Mothers Day (she was due on 11th April). So glad she decided to come a day before lockdown started and everything became more scary!
My waters broke in the night, but surges didn't actually start for another 16 hours. Luckily my body allowed labour to progress and I didn't need any help in the form of the drip. I really believe the hypnobirthing helped with this, as I remained positive and calm all the way through even though the midwives kept mentioning induction to me.
After pushing for over an hour we realised that baby's head was turned, and I was taken to theatre for a spinal and forceps delivery. There wasn't a moment where I didn't feel calm and in control though even in a scary situation and I put that all down to everything you taught us.
So thank you so much, we really appreciate it and couldn't of done it without everything we learnt xx
