On the 23rd of May our &#8216;little&#8217; Maggie Lucia (Lu-chia) Moss was born, she was 8 pounds and 14 ounces and perfectly healthy.<\/p>\n<p>I am really happy with the way my birth went but I was a bit disappointed when both midwives were telling me to push (Eli was telling me not to, but in the end I did) when Eli had asked them if they had our preferences and they said they did, it all went too fast for us to sit and go over them. I was transferred to the RBWH quite late at 36 weeks and didn&#8217;t get on the midwife team there and even when we arrived for the birth we had to explain again why we weren&#8217;t at Mater (we moved to the north side). But aside from needing stitches it was perfect; we had a drug free, intervention free natural childbirth and were able to stay at home until I was really ready. We got to the RBWH at 9am, my waters broke around 11am and at 12.25pm Maggie was born!\u00a0 I still can&#8217;t believe I did it, Eli was such a great support and so well prepared because of the classes. We&#8217;re both so pleased in our choice to do Hypnobirthing.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for helping us have a smooth calm birth I hadn&#8217;t thought possible.<\/p>\n<p>Stina, Eli and Maggie, Brisbane<\/p>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We had a drug free, intervention free natural childbirth and were able to stay at home until I was really ready.
