Although a little late, we wanted to let you know that we welcomed Matilda safely at home in the pool.
The affirmations and techniques kept me calm and relaxed in the beginning stages. The midwife arrived when I was 6cm.
Thank you for everything, it is safe to say we’d definitely recommend you to any pregnant couples we meet in future!
As the contractions got stronger, I was finding it really difficult to stay focused and lost my way a little. I ended up using gas and air. Thanks to you, Chris was so prepared he was able to keep reminding me of what I needed to remember. Tongue to teeth and shoulders down! He made sure the music was on, scent was there, ice packs were to hand and I was fed and watered!
By the final stage, after a short walk around the hallway, I was able to refocus and put the gas and air to one side. I used the hypnobirthing techniques to finally be able to welcome Matilda after 12 hours from my waters breaking (and about 10 hours from my first tangible contraction)
Thank you for everything, it is safe to say we’d definitely recommend you to any pregnant couples we meet in future!
