for privacy reasons, this mummy wanted to remain anonymous, here is her birth story:
“Hi Nikki, It has been a whirlwind festive period for us, we welcomed our baby girl to the world on 24th December. It was extremely quick in the end, my waters broke at 4am, my contractions started when we left for the hospital about 5 and we just about made it down to the birth centre, four big pushes and she was with us!
A big thank you for the all we have discussed during pregnancy yoga. The focus on positioning for birthing was so helpful, I literally dropped to my knees for every surge (most of which I was in transition for, getting from car to triage at Frimley Park to birth centre!) because this felt most comfortable and I really had in my head just to let my body do what I felt like it needed to do. I also used the golden thread breath and horse lips, which was great as I didn’t really have time to get into my hypnobirthing zone because it was all so quick! My partner also did lots of massage and hip presses which were helpful.
Importantly, all went well and we were home again early evening to leave Father Christmas his mince pie (and champagne!) and enjoy some lovely family Christmas time. We are absolutely delighted”
