IMOGEN’S BIRTH STORY<\/h4>\n

\"imogen\"As 8.30 my First contractions started then at 10.30 let Sean know I think we are ‘game on’<\/p>\n

At 11.30 I confirm to Sean we had indeed begun and at 11.45 I Call my mum to come be with Verity<\/p>\n

2.00pm Sean got home (I meanwhile had been using the breathing and the\u00a0visualisation and my mum was under strict instructions not to be ‘telling’\u00a0me when I needed to go to hospital!) at 2.30 Sean had told me to lay down, relax and he would come time the\u00a0regularity. \u00a0I felt what I now believe was a fierce kick from Imogen at 3.00 I let Sean know I really think we need to head to the hospital and at 3.07 call the hospital to let them know I am coming in after which we leave\u00a0home ” waters break on the way (lucky we were in our not as good second\u00a0car!) at 3.30 arrive at hospital looking like my waters had broken !\u00a0Hustled into a birthing suite with a nurse who I can only describe\u00a0as ‘meant for us’ she did not use the word push (we hadn’t the\u00a0opportunity to talk over our ‘birth plan’) She told me to breathe the baby\u00a0out ” and to work with my body and let it do what it needed to do<\/p>\n

At 3.45 Imogen was ‘breathed’ out ” – faster than the attending obstetrician could\u00a0make it to (8lb 5oz ” no stitches required in fact no tears this time at all !)<\/p>\n

The nurses enjoyed the birth as much as we did! \u00a0It was truly magnificent\u00a0and I truly thank you for showing me the ‘how’<\/p>\n

\u00a8Imogen has been a settled, peaceful baby which I definitely believe is a\u00a0reflection of how she entered the world. Again thanks so much !<\/p>\n

Cheers<\/p>\n

Amelia \u00a0Sean, Camp Hill<\/p>\n
