When I decided to have VBAC for my 2nd child at 34 weeks, I reached out to Nadine to enquire about Hypnobirthing. We managed to slot ourselves into her class at 36 weeks. It was helpful in helping me to prepare mentally, physically and emotionally. I also engaged Nadine to be my doula. On the birthing day, Nadine was by my side throughout almost 20 hours of labour, providing support through massages, warm water poured on my back and tummy, communicating with the hospital birth team, and ensuring I have the right space and ambiance to breathe through my surges and finally delivered our baby VBAC and drug free.
When I was pregnant with our third child 5 years later, I engaged Nadine again to be my doula. I had a 3 hour labour, and our baby boy was born, again totally drug-free in the side-lying position. Nadine was by my side throughout, reminding me to relax and breathe especially when the surges became overwhelming due to the fast labour. I personally felt having Nadine to support both my pregnancies and births helped contributed to the success of my VBACs and drug-free births, and experiencing birth the way it should be.
