Prior to attending Rosie’s Calmbirth course I was very anxious about labour and giving birth. I had somewhat convinced myself that I wouldn’t be able to cope during labour and that I wanted to have an elective cesarean.
Nitrous oxide is a gas that we breath in, which we can use in labour to help take the edge off the peak of the contraction.
This is us!Well it was 10 months ago! ⠀With so many new followers lately I just wanted to say a quick “hello” and “thank you”!⠀Thank you for investing in your own and your families wellbeing. Even if it’s just one post that resonates with you I feel extremely fortunate to be able to help.⠀Sharing my knowledge with you all is something that excites me in my dream that one day birth will be enjoyed & looked forward to rather than feared.⠀
The single biggest thing you need, is support! Emotional and physical support to help you through the ‘labour of love’. Its vital you have confidence in yourself and the birthing team around you (support people and hospital staff). Remember- SAFE SUPPORTED LOVED.Here is a list of all the things that I believe will most likely get used, rather than be lugged around to be unpacked again once home.
Rosie lives on a farm with her husband, & two children. It was after doing the Calmbirth program with her partner 5 years ago (before the birth of their first child), that she knew it was something she was passionate to pursue.
