The course is just so informative which helps immensely with feeling prepared and confident to give birth, and it really motivated myself and my partner to practice the techniques covered.
After hearing about Calmbirth through a friend 5 years ago, we chose to take the course before the birth of our second child in 2018.
I had been left feeling quite traumatised after my first son’s birth, and Calmbirth really helped to improve my mindset and confidence while approaching my second son’s due date. I ended up having the most wonderful calm, water-birth (despite baby weighing in at 4.6kg), because I felt confident and informed and able to advocate for myself thanks to Cherie’s Calmbirth course.
I am now pregnant with my third child, due in November 2022, and knew straight away that I would be booking in a Calmbirth refresher course to refresh my and my husband’s knowledge and confidence surrounding birth. The refresher course was so well thought out and covered everything that we’d hoped without making us feel like we were hearing the exact same information as our previous full Calmbirth course (as well as being a great excuse to catch up with Cherie again!)
It was incredibly helpful for the both of us, and my husband and I yet again feel excited, confident and calm as we wait to meet our new baby!
