Julie and Heidi’s birth story

I had my baby in my arms. It’s hard to explain, my body was in pain, but it was a nice pain. Worth every single bit of it. Tea and toast was delivered and we were on top of the world as we shared the surprise with our families.

Leeanne’s VBAC experience

I genuinely so grateful to you for giving me such a positive mindset towards labour ❤️ And for equipping me with all the tools I needed 💪 After the birth, the midwife said it was very clear I’d done pregnancy yoga because of how good my breathing technique was, and that that’s what made her sure I wasn’t in labour, because I didn’t seem in pain 🤣 it goes to show the power of breathing!

Ciara’s birth story

I couldn't have hoped for a better birth. Sure I had myself written off for going two weeks over, having to be induced and then ending up with a section!!!! So funny. Female bodies are just incredible. I have a new found love and respect for mine.

Zita and Dáire - ‘Big Baby’ birth story

Hi Lainey, So for the birth:
I woke at 6.30 Tuesday morning that my waters went. Got up quietly, made myself a cup of coffee and sat down thinking that this is probably my first peaceful coffee since Seána was born and probably the last one for the next 2 years too so I'm gonna enjoy it!

I spent the next few hours walking around the room, doing some yoga poses, getting in the shower, and using all the breathing techniques you had taught us. When the contractions were really strong, you will be delighted to hear I was channeling you saying ‘floppy face…

Why you should join our baby classes?

Valuable for both Mam and Baby. Baby meets other babies, perhaps for the first time, some will be older or more advanced and help encourage your baby to try out new things, like rolling over or sitting up. For Mam, it is invaluable to get out, share how you are feeling and take a few mins for your body to do some stretches and be with other women going through all the same emotions you are going through. You also learn lots of tips!

I wasn’t that concerned as the itch was very mild but rang the Coombe to check and they recommended I come in for the blood test. The result was..
