Filia's natural birth

I wanted to let you know that I had natural birth with no drugs except gas!!!

I wanted to let you know that I had natural birth with no drugs except gas!!! At the hospital they were quite surprised I did so well as due to my age they thought I would go for caesarean. However, after we attended your Calmbirth course Clive and I were very strong at telling obstetrician we did not want caesarean.

Labour was painful but my husband thought I did very well. I kept doing the breathing we learnt from you and I was on a different planet to be honest. So although I was in a lot of pain I managed to give natural birth in 8 hrs. I was induced on Thursday night 3 times with a gel (at 6hr intervals) and finally my waters broke on Friday night and gave birth Saturday at 4am (Saturday 8th of November). It's good also that my waters broke on their own..anyway just wanted to say a big thank you. - Filia and Clive.
