“Hi Nikki. Look who arrived on Tuesday morning š Ottilie Margaret. We had an amazing 12 hour labour where I stayed on my feet or knees the whole time. With each contraction I used the golden thread breath (it was a bit noisier then in our class!) and a lot of vowel breaths. Although the pain was unlike anything I could have imagined I felt very in control and trusted what was happening.Ā
Unfortunately it ended with an emergency C section….I got a violent bout of sickness and her heart rate shot up. They tried a number of things but it wouldnāt stabilise so out she came. They werenāt sure if one of us had an infection or the cord was around her neck.
Fortunately on arrival she seemed fine…..but even on the theatre table I used all the techniques Iāve been practicing since week 15 of my pregnancy. Thank you for a brilliant class which prepared me for a really positive birth experience. See you soon for baby yoga! Fi Xxx”
