I can't stress enough how helpful, useful and well prepared the course was. We absolutely loved the course and would recommend it to anyone in a heartbeat! From a birthing perspective I feel so much more confident with what I want and how I hope my birth will go, but equally prepared if it doesn't go to plan. From a birthing partner perspective, you really helped us both understand the role of the birthing partner and how they can help from start to end. You were so engaging and easy and open to speak with. Thank you!

I can't believe it but I managed to have him with no pain relief other than using a tens machine and the pool and I needed no stitches! I definitely think the positive affirmations you spoke about and believing that my body was capable played a huge part in this. Thank you so much for all of your help, I completely underestimated how helpful and big a difference it would all make!

I just wanted to thank you so much for being a big part of our journey. It wasn’t just turning up for a Yoga session each week- your support was so much more than that. It helped me understand more about birthing, prepare myself for being a mum of twins and feel connected to a whole community. It felt like every member of the class was genuinely cared for. I didn't realise how important that would be until I was part of it. I'm so glad I took a random flyer and signed up for a taster session- something so unlike me to do!

I have found the class to be really beneficial, it improved my mental state as well as giving me exercise and learning new techniques to work with. It was nice to meet women in my area going through a similar experience and Suzanne was such a great support. I always left the class feeling calmer and more in control. I would highly recommend.

Both myself and my husband felt so much more relaxed, confident and excited for the labour and that’s all down to Suzanne. We felt so supported and encouraged to ask questions, engage in discussion and no topic was off limits. I would say this class is a must-do for all parents to help prepare for labour. Thank you so much!

Do eating dates during pregnancy and labour help you to have a shorter pregnancy and easier birth?

In recent years, midwives have been encouraged to advise pregnant women to eat dates during the final weeks of their pregnancy to increase the possibility of spontaneous labour, thereby avoiding an induction for “post-dates”.
