Hi Kat

Hope all’s really well with you.

I just wanted to let you know that Kit Alexander Watson was born last Monday morning (30th April) – a healthy 8lbs 3.  I also wanted to thank you sincerely for the time you spent with us in the run up to his arrival – both Clive and I have no doubt at all that hypnobirthing helped us through the whole surreal and incredible experience.

Without relaying the whole story, I went into labour late on Saturday night and he was born around 30 hours later.  We arrived at the birthing centre at 3.30am on Monday morning, by which point my waters had broken,  I was fully dilated and ready to go.  Kit was born some four hours later – we ended up in the labour ward for the last hour as, by that stage, I was exhausted and my contractions started to slow so he needed a little help getting out (syntocinon drip + ventouse).  During all the hours at home, we put into action all we’d learned with you and it really worked. To add, Clive was a wonderful birthing partner – our sessions with you and the homework really gave him lots of confidence and he gave me such a lot of support.

See you in the park at some point soon I hope. Thanks again for everything.
