Abby's textbook hospital birth to Sadie
The Positive Births NZ podcast - A podcast by Helen Bartrom

Categories:
Abby says it was planning, preparation and practise that got her through her birth and what gave her a positive experience. So she shares with us what type of preparation she did in her pregnancy – she practised with her favourite tools a lot and you’ll hear how this worked and how it paid off for her in her birth. She believes the time and energy she put in allowed the affirmations to be “there” for her in her birth without her having to think about them. You’ll hear what helped her ingrain the words and images into her mind. Abby had a pretty smooth journey overall, you’ll hear about one potential hiccup at the beginning of her labour but from there everything managed to be smooth sailing and 'textbook'. She created a calm and comfortable atmosphere and environment and enjoyed the most incredible empowering feeling of meeting baby.
