Sophie's birthcentre waterbirth to Blakely

A "seismic" mindset shift is what Sophie experienced between one half of her pregnancy and another. It set her off on a course of feeling calm and excited for her first birth. This is a fabulous story for everyone to listen to, Sophie explains what she used and how she used it, her supportive 'A' team, catching Blakely as she arrived in the water. Husband Chris was right on board and you'll hear how they beautifully worked together through labour and birth - wordlessly communicating while Sophie was totally inward, staying in the zone, headphones on and with closed eyes for most of her labour. There's one tiny twist at the end with a hospital visit to check on blood loss, but other than that, this is a 100% straightforward positive birth story.
