I had a long latent labour of 48 hours which included being turned away twice from the hospital (!) But, when my waters finally broke and we were admitted to Barnet Midwife Led Unit, Sebastian came along after just over an hour in the birth pool. Complete with the classic transition moment of asking for an epidural 5 mins before he arrived.
We used hypnobirthing the whole way through – the breathing techniques and tens machine really helped me throughout my long labour at home and in the Midwife Led unit.
We created an incredibly calm and beautiful birthing environment. It was an incredibly empowering experience and I feel so lucky that Sebastian was delivered according to my birth plan.
Thank you so much for all your help, education and support in our birth preparation.
