i thought i could share my story with you because it is through yoga for pregnancy that i discovered when pregnant for the 2nd time at age 44, that i could have a normal birth delivery instead of a ceasarian like i had at age 32. Yoga helped me to relax, visualise the birthing experience, that i could do it naturally. And i did it, with the help of a doula, with no pain killers, didn’t even think about it. I was lucky that it was quick ( started around 2 in the morning with 1st contraction, and baby girl was born at 9h20 that very morning), and she was a small baby of only 2.5 kg. it was the best day of my life, i was so proud and so happy that i did it like i wanted. it is empowering and amazing. my little girl is now 3, and very full of life !!!!
Fantastic story Ingrid, I am so happy you followed your instincts and glad your doula could guide you through the experience! Thank you for sharing!
