Birth story - Alexandra and baby boy

*Trigger warning* - push harder.

I want to say thank you to this class. Doing it was life changing. I stayed at home as long as I could . Doing up breathing. In for 4 and out for 8! I focused on it so strongly that the pain became manageable. Particularly because the course helped me to learn the science behind it. I arrived and gave birth in 40 mins! Almost in a corridor.

The midwives were amazed I had managed so well till arrival and that was thanks to the class and a constant focus on breathing.

This time I focused on breathing and counting and walking.

They told me to lie down to give birth. I regret listening. They started to ask me to push like crazy. That was not working. I went on all 4 and delivery was easier then! Should have done that straight away.

Amazing birth. My first one was good too but way longer and I had panicked and not been breathing properly. This time around following the class really changed the experience!
