“Afternoon Janet,
Wanted to let you know we had little Arthur on Friday morning and just enjoyed a lovely peaceful weekend alone as a new family.Both Matthew and I had the most amazing birth experience and it was just what we wanted, we had him at home in the pool. It felt like Matthew and I did our whole labour using the breathing techniques and him supporting me, with the midwives just there in the background for safety, they arrived for the last 4 hours before Arthur was born.
Once I got into established labor Matthew would stand in front of me so I could hold his arms while he guided me through the up breathing and kept me controlled, I didn’t have to think because I could just listen to him, it was lovely.
We are feeling very proud of ourselves as first timers and have you (and mum for gifting us the course) to thank. We both think it’s the best thing we did in preparation for our baby’s birth!”
