Lovely Testimonial

Thank you so much to Lynette for this lovely testimonial. If you know any expectant mums who might be interested in doing the course then do get them to have a look at the website for details of dates etc.

I attended jenny’s class when I was 36 weeks pregnant. All 3 sessions made me feel a lot more at ease and gave me the reassurance i needed. All the breathing techniques came in really useful when the big day arrived, I spent 3 days at home having contractions and without the knowledge i gained from the classes i would of been in and out of hospital but i managed to stay at home using the different breathing methods. I had the natural birth i wanted and it went smoothly. I cant thank jenny enough for all the advice and questions she answered during the course. Would definatly recommend these sessions. If i ever have another baby i will be attending!

The father in the room

An interesting reflection on whether dads should be at the birth of their children from an Australian mum and author – as she says after her birth experience she described her partners input –

“I couldn’t stop telling people how wonderful he’d been, even though I find it hard to remember anything specific that he did, aside from remaining conscious”

Drama – YoungDads.tv

Great series of films showing the experiences of a fictional young dad from when he finds out his girlfriend is pregnant, through pregnancy (hope I am not as annoying as the midwife leading their antenatal class 🙂 ), birth and early fatherhood.
