“I wanted to thank you for your pregnancy program. I had an amazing euphoric labour. I felt calm, strong and in control the whole time. After 5 hours of contractions at home, I presented to the hospital where I was told I was 9cm! 30 mins later and I wanted to start pushing when what felt like 2 pushes and 10 mins and my daughter was in my arms! It was absolutely amazing.”
