Stories
So, my birth story starts back a few days before labour started and before baby arrived.

Our little girl Sophie arrived on Friday morning after a spontaneous labour and vaginal birth that went very smoothly.
I was able to utilise breathing techniques, the tens machine, and the power of knowledge from our Calmbirth classes.

I had a stretch and sweep at 38+6 and was 3-4cm/fully effaced and then swore I was going to get into labour that day but alas it all fizzled out despite all efforts to get into labour for the ongoing days!
Then I had slightly reduced baby movements on the Saturday night and honestly I’d...
