Just when I thought the weekend couldn’t get any better I get this note from Jo: “Hi Kat

Congratulations on the release of the book! Just a quick note to let you know that our daughter Rosa was born on April 10th, in the birth pool at UCH. It was a fairly long pre-labour (over three days) but active labour flew by. The water birth was amazing, such relief. And the aromatherapy oil worked well in pre-labour. I was meditating on tall strong Cypress trees with every surge, and using the surge breathing very effectively. 

Ed really helped to guide my breathing in the final stage, which was intense but not painful. Thanks so much for all of your support!

Best wishes,
Jo and Ed xx”

and from dad Ed: “Thanks Kat! It was amazing, all went according to plan, despite the longer than expected start to it all! The tools you taught us really did help a lot, and she arrived underwater just with a bit of gas and air and an inspiring effort by Jo!”
