Archie, a Calmbirth baby is born! My Calmbirth training 100% helped me survive the first 12 hours!

Dear Calmbirth, I just wanted to let you know that baby Archie was born on 29 August.
He wasn’t according to plan – after 12 hours of an induced posterier labour I ended up with an epidural and a forceps delivery. However, my Calmbirth training 100% helped me survive the first 12 hours. Tim was sensational in coaching me with my breathing and visualisation, and I swear by it. It just got too much in the end unfortunately, and I needed intervention.

Archie is now healthy and delightful.
Thank you So much
Jess and Tim
