"I Look Back and Can't Believe How Calm I Stayed"
"Hello! I just wanted to let you know that our little boy arrived safely on Tuesday morning at 6.41, 8lb5 and he is absolutely thriving and so unbelievably chilled! I was induced on Sunday with a 24hr pessary and they thought I may need further pessaries but they examined me the next day and I was dilated enough for them to break my waters! They took me down to delivery and broke them at around 11pm and the contractions intensified almost immediately! At this point I thought I would need an epidural but had diamorphe and just rolled on my birthing ball calmly with a good playlist on and by 2.30am I was fully dilated! I ended up needing the ventouse suction but I look back now and can’t believe how calm I stayed throughout the whole thing, no panic, no tears, no shouting just breathing and focusing! And I think all that may be what’s contributing to “A’s” complete relaxation! He is an absolute dream and I do put it all down to you!! Thank you so much for everything! I must admit I didn’t practice as much as I should have done but everything we discussed stayed with me! Xxx” - Francis
Bump, Birth & Baby Fair Sunday 15th September 2019
10:00-14:30
The Royal Station Hotel, Carnforth
A Bump, Birth & Baby Fair to trial, talk, shop, browse anything pregnancy, birth or baby related.
There will be a range of stalls covering birth preparation, pregnancy exercise, birth support, therapies, baby classes, post-natal support, books, products and much more, all under one roof.
It is an opportunity for every pregnant woman and new mum to meet us and find out who we are and what we do so you know what “support” is available to you. You will be able to get to know us, so we become a friendly face when you go to that new group/class for the first time with your bump or your new little bundle of joy.
It starts with feeling confident, happy, healthy and relaxed in pregnancy. To then be able to take responsibility for the birth of your baby for a positive experience is how we want mothers to start this amazing new journey and for you to then be able to thrive in your new, sometimes overwhelming, role as mummy by getting out and about to groups/classes where you can meet people and make friends with those that are going through the same.
You will also have the opportunity to attend free demos and taster sessions that are happening throughout the day, exclusive discounts and entering into the prize draw for your chance to win all sorts of pregnancy or baby related goodies.
