ODBBEM - One Daisy Baby Born Every Minute! Introducing Lucy!

Posted by Julie Long in Video Birth Diaries (ODBBEM)

Another Daisy Mum Blogs ......

.... not only about her journey in Lazy DaisyÂ® antenatal classes but also about her pregnancy and her hopes for her birth!

Due to the popularity of our pregnancy and birth video diary series with much loved Daisy BirthingÂ® mum Jess, we jumped at the chance of featuring Yorkshire based mum Lucy. Lucy has not only joined us to enjoy Daisy BirthingÂ® classes (during pregnancy number 2) but has also enrolled as an antenatal teacher in training (in order to bring more classes to mums in the Yorkshire area - specifically Halifax)! So this seems the ideal chance to track her journey through pregnancy, birth, motherhood and training!

Lucy introduces herself, her bump and her family situation today, talks honestly about why she joined a Daisy BirthingÂ® antenatal class and also talks about 'feeling unprepared' even 2nd time around!

Lucy would love to receive your comments ....... so feel free to post them here!

Not a home birth, but Jess describes how she so enjoyed the period she spent labouring at home, including her long walk in the park (and membranes releasing in an unusual place) .... Her adaptability to change and her positivity to this, is something I hope our birth confidence classes can give to all mums!

Despite such a long haul and experiencing rapid waves of contractions which were for a long period very intense, but not production effective dilation, Jess still gave birth to Arthur naturally.

She has to be commended for this wonderful result - it is such an achievement to have a vaginal delivery after such a long period of labouring (tiredness can cause adrenalin to rocket and result in a need for section or assisted delivery). What's more, she still achieved this (and in just 4 pushes) despite having to opt for pain relief which she hadn't initially banked on ....
