Supporting and celebrating the journey of motherhood

Back in April I wrote a post about my hopes for my elective c-section and I would love to share with you how it went…
At 7.30am on the 1st June I walked into the maternity unit of my local hospital feeling calm but excited that I would soon be meeting my second child. My pre op the day before was very positive and the anaesthetist and obstetrician I spoke to were both very supportive of me having a gentle birth despite it being in theatre.

I remember lying in my bed at night reading a book. My due date had been and gone by 5 days and I was more than ready to meet my baby boy. As I lay there I felt sudden but very exciting pain through my tummy. It was happening, my labour was starting!
I was so prepared for the perfect birth. I had attended a pregnancy yoga course and been shown how to use the power of the breathe throughout my contractions. Each contraction that came I was amazed at just how well using the breathe could be to get through each one and with each contraction I felt proud of myself and totally empowered. I could do this!
