We had three hours in the delivery suite relaxing and cuddling and feeding and loving our baby, and I don’t think anything else in life can come close to the intimacy and quietness of those hours immediately after birth.
I am so pleased we did CalmBirth and were able to bring our little girl to us safely and with love. That’s it for our little family, thank you for helping us to complete our family just as we wished.
We all know that for some women breastfeeding can be challenging at the best of times for many different reasons but throw mastitis in the mix and it can be more than just challenging because it also becomes painful.
Pregnancy, labour, and birth are intricate processes that involve a myriad of physiological and emotional changes. Amidst this complexity, one remarkable hormone plays a pivotal role—oxytocin. Often referred to as the “love hormone” or “bonding hormone,” oxytocin is associated with social bonding, trust, and intimacy. However, its significance goes far beyond romantic relationships, as it profoundly influences the journey of pregnancy, labour, and birth, and the transformative stages of motherhood.
The power of your mindset, hormones and environment can play such a vital role in making you feel safe, calm and private for the kind of birth that can unfold for you, as Calmbirth mum, Tara discovered when she birthed her beautiful baby Cohen James.
In the Calmbirth program we talk about many different pain relief options that are available to you during labour, one of those options is using a TENS machine.
