Being in the moment

Just wanted to share that my partner Lachlan and I welcomed our beautiful baby girl Lilly Fay Driver to the world last week 1.4.20 at the Mater Hospital. Lachlan and I found the active birth strategies really helped at various stages of the labour, particularly in grounding myself during breaks in contractions, coming back to my personal mantra, being in the moment, accepting whatever arose while at the same time feeling in control of decisions and letting go of control and I was really grateful for being able to move around during labour and the midwives supporting my birth preferences. Having my birth partner Lachlan there by my side except for 2 quick toilet breaks, was also so incredible and vital for me! The care at the Mater Private was wonderful and we felt very well looked after. Wishing you all the very best for your upcoming births and meeting your babies !
