Thank you for creating such an inspiring and beautiful book for women

Hi Katrina,

I am so truly blessed to have both of these amazing boys in my life. Zane, I truly couldn’t have done it without you, the strength, courage and love you give me is beyond what I could have ever imagined. Leo, my dear little angel, mummy and daddy are so so blessed by your angelic little spirit, we are all so in love! It was a long day, contractions starting at 3am on the 5th of Jan, active labour began around 8pm lasting around 6 hrs finally giving birth to this amazing little soul at 1.32am 6th Jan.

Leo Zane Williams was born a very healthy 8.8 pounds and 54cm long arriving 1 day early! Would also like to say a drug-free natural birth is possible! I did it!! I mentally prepared for no drugs and had amazing support with me the whole way through to give me strength. It wasn’t easy, it wasn’t not painful- but I experienced this honestly amazing and beautiful experience first hand with the people I love and couldn’t be more grateful and pleased with the whole experience.

Just a quick message to say .. I had my little bundle of joy, Leo on the 6th of Jan and had a completely drug-free natural birth at a hospital which I didn’t think was possible till I found your book.. Thank you for sharing the stories, they gave me much hope and inspiration. Will definitely be recommending your book to every pregnant women I know.

The biggest thing I took away from the book was that a drug free hospital birth was possible, women had done it and didn’t regret not having them either- midwives also respected their wishes and didn’t push anything on them. As a first time mum all I had ever heard were the horror stories and people saying “you’ll be fine, just take the drugs!” I knew I didn’t want neither myself or my child receiving these side effect causing drugs that could potentially jeopardise a safe and healthy arrival of my baby. I did take some suggestions from the book to help with a calm, focused birth as well as use other tools and resources such as affirmations, “My body is completely relaxed” to help me get through the contractions.
Also relaxation music in the car on the way to the hospital as contractions were getting closer and stronger, I did yoga 6 days a week throughout my entire pregnancy as well as the morning contractions started! I was rolling my hips around on the Swiss ball! The book also encouraged and inspired me to try different labor positions as I always had assumed it was best to lay on the bed- this was way out of line, I spent the very last 10mins of my labor here…my favourite positions being leaning over the side if the hospital bed kneeling, and for the pushing side of things- the toilet!!
I had also taken red raspberry leaf tablets from 35weeks, mag phos tissue salts during most of my pregnancy and on day of labor to help ease pain of contractions, took my pregnancy multis and prenatal DHA’s the entire pregnancy..

Take care. Taylah. xx
