Melissa and Marc

From before I fell pregnant I had the vision of having a natural childbirth with as little intervention as possible. Michelle’s birthing class was perfect for me as she discussed at length the labour process with what was to be expected at each stage, ways to cope with the pain for a natural birth and how my husband can be involved and feel included. Leaving the class I felt empowered and excited about giving birth.

From when my waters broke, my husband who before Michelle’s class had zero knowledge of childbirth, was my rock, helping me through labour, keeping me calm and implementing what we had been taught, which saw me get to the hospital at 10cms dilated and ready to push!

The birth of my son was such a beautiful experience for both me and my husband and I’m so thankful that I attended Michelle’s classes, as without a doubt, if I had attended classes via the hospital, I wouldn’t have felt prepared for a natural birth and probably wouldn’t have had one.
