Thank you for helping us achieve a positive & empowering birth. Without attending the Calm birth course & going to Suzanne’s Active Birth yoga classes, our experience may not have been the same. My husband & I can honestly say we felt so prepared & ready, which gave us the beautiful & calm birth that we’d hoped for. 

I spontaneously went into early labour around 5am Tuesday 22/10. I went about my day (as much as you can having contractions, or what I liked to call them “tightenings” every 10 mins) & my husband went to work as usual. Given I wasn’t sure if it was the “real thing”, I spent the morning pottering around my home, listening to a playlist that I’d put together for my baby blessing & something I would listen to most days during the end of pregnancy as it was relaxing & reminded me of all of the love & support we are surrounded by; I went for a walk to get a coffee; painted my nails & focused on staying calm, with trust that my body knew exactly what it was doing & my mind just had to go along with the ride.  I didn’t want to get “too excited” as didn’t want adrenaline to take over & I wasn’t focused on how often or how long the tightenings were coming.
