Written by Lucy. “I felt empowered and knowledgable about the whole experience which, even in my darkest moments, made all the difference and enabled me to have a very gentle, quiet and intervention free birth. I have no doubt that my birth would have looked very different without Mollie’s support and care. I have so…
Written by Theresa. “Labour for me whilst a lot quicker than expected, with the right preparation both physically and mentally meant the whole experience was so positive and whilst I don’t intend on doing it again, if I did I would not in the slightest be worried!” December the 12th I woke up hoping to…
Written by Imogen. Instead of listening to the families in next door cubicles, I listened to my playlists (one upbeat and one relaxing).

First time mum / Homebirth / Hypnobirthing / Water birth Written by Amy 11.15pm – After a relaxing day pottering, I got ready for bed and told baby that I was ready when he was! I couldn’t believe it, but I immediately felt a popping sensation, followed by a sharp pain. It was like he had…
All went well with in my second pregnancy, but I did find it more challenging than my first (thanks to my small toddler!). However something that never wavered was how excited I was to give birth again. I was honestly looking forward to feeling those first twinges of labour.
