sadie winslow born at nambour hospital on 30 jan 2016

Our beautiful princess, Sadie Winslow McDermott, was earth born on 30th January 2016, and the entire experience for me was soul changing .... more incredible than I even imagined!
We were prepared, we were supported, we were calm and we were excited. I say 'we' because thanks to HypnoBirthing my amazing husband learned how to help me throughout my labour. While I learned how to breathe correctly, release all fear and tension to let my body and my baby do what they were so brilliantly designed to do, birth - Jack was holding me through every surge; encouraging me, kissing me, massaging me, showering me and feeding me, which allowed me to transform into my best birthing body totally drug free. It was intense, it was absolutely challenging yet so beautiful and utterly euphoric 💕 It didn't go entirely to plan but we adapted, together.. and the end result for this first time mumma was a 27 hour labour, no stitches, no drugs, and a healthy and calm 7.1 pound beautiful daughter. What I wasn't expecting from our labour was the love for my husband to grow far greater than I ever thought possible. Thank you to our doula Carrie for your guidance and support, invaluable!! And the amazing midwives (Sarah and Hannah) at Nambour hospital , thank you. Together, magic really can happen. Bree |
