"...They didn't believe I was in labour, but when they checked me I was 7cms dilated and they could feel her head. They said I was too quiet! Two hours later she was born with minimal fuss and is just beautiful! All naturally thanks to Calmbirth. I had your voice going through my head the whole labour.." |
