Danielle's Birthcare birth to Gianna

As someone who'd always been fearful of birth and worried about the pain, Danielle made the decision to do some positive preparation which helped her to get into a better mindset. She did a lot of mental, emotion and physical preparation which resulted in feeling 95% excited by the end of her pregnancy. Her labour she describes as "hot and heavy" as it started strong, and progressing in a relatively short time. With a transfer to Birthcare in rush hour traffic and midwives who were unable to make it there for her, she was blown away to be almost fully dilated upon arrival and wait to hear how she describes the pushing part! Danielle describes birth as "it wasn't as bad as she thought it would be - could totally do it again". She had found the flip side to her negative thinking, got out of her own way, let her body do the work and had a positive birth experience.
