Ayla and Seb's birthcentre waterbirth to Kit

A fast and furious start to labour, with waters gushing everywhere is how Ayla's labour to Kit begins, the immediate intensity taking both Ayla and Seb by surprise. Today we have both of them on the podcast to talk through their labour and birth experience. It’s always great to have a partner's perspective and the extra info Seb is able to share about his experience of their 12 hour journey to meet their first baby Kit. Ayla and Seb came to this stage of life with quite different thoughts and beliefs about birth, and you'll hear the compromises they made when planning for birth. We hear about how Ayla managed to cope with intense sensations that didn’t seem to let up and how she eventually found her sense of calm with the techniques that worked for her. Some of the aspects of Ayla's labour are not the most common experiences, so you'll hear about different variations of 'normal' I love what Seb did in the car for Ayla as they travelled between home and the birth centre and how he was able to feel so useful. Listen to hear what baby was doing when half way out into the world through what is a smooth, straightforward waterbirth, despite the 'Hollywood' start.  If you would like to learn the tools that Ayla and Seb learnt in their Positive Births hypnobirthing course, check out the variety of course options at www.positivebirths.co.nz.
