We had the most amazing and incredible birth experience, even though my ideal labour went out the window. It turned into a 4 day ordeal

I feel healed; I feel empowered and I am in awe of my beautiful little baby ~ (Harriet’s Birth)

I am shocked that my baby is here. It didn’t take long, and it wasn’t anywhere near the pain levels of my previous labour. I sense that I feel healed. I feel empowered and I am in awe of my beautiful little baby.

It was truly the most incredible moment of my life!

Unexpectedly, the discomfort from the contractions disappeared. I was them able to completely focus on breathing my baby through the birth canal.

We have found our groove as a family.

It took 2 weeks before I really feel more settled and relaxed and confident. River is now 2.5 weeks old, he is beautiful and we have found our groove as a family of 3.

Two babies in 2 years, using Empowered to Birth techniques
