A fast, intense first labour, holding baby in under 4 hours, Ashleigh shares with us her incredible experience and says "I want to relive it everyday."

We chat when baby Adaline is only 2 weeks old so this is a super fresh, super lovely story of a mum who was able to cope beautifully during a very different type of birth she had imagined.

Luckily Ashleigh had practised all her hypnobirthing breathing techniques - she had spent her pregnancy listening to the stories on this podcast but at 40+2 realised she really needed to know more about HOW to use breathing and relaxation. She jumped onto the Short & Sweet Online Positive Births hypnobirthing course, binged watched it and had nailed it by the afternoon.

Two days later she was holding her baby girl with an amazing story to share.
