Happy Mother’s Day 🤍

Post #2 — sharing more beautiful words from Calmbirth mums as we celebrate motherhood, birth, and the journeys that shape us. Thank you for allowing your stories to be shared.

✨ Liv
“Thankful for everything our Calm Birth class gave us — confidence, knowledge, calmness and ultimately our dream birth.”

✨ Ella
“I will always remember the knowledge Cherie and Calmbirth Class equipped me with to bring my beautiful baby girl into the world. Breathing through each surge, releasing all tension from my body was the tool that carried me throughout my labour. A labour which I loved and am so proud of.”

✨ Lucinda
“Calmbirth allowed us to make informed decisions about the birth we wanted. We both left feeling less anxious and more informed about the labour process. We have been so blessed with our beautiful baby girl.”

✨ Emilia
“What I’ll always remember from our calm birth class is how special it felt for Lachy and I to prepare and learn about the birth together - it was genuine quality time. We both felt more informed and excited going into the birth of the twins following the class!”

✨ Nikola
“Being a Mumma to my two beautiful girlies brings me so much fulfilment. I am so grateful I get to be their mum. They are truly such a blessing.”

✨ Alizee
“Presence, trust.
Awareness in the moment - relaxing - opening.
Birthing life.
Life is flowing.
We are creators !”

To every mother reading this — in the thick of it, just beginning, or holding memories of your birth journey — you are seen, you are valued, and you are doing something incredible 🤍

Happy Mother’s Day 🤍

Today I’m sharing some beautiful words from past Calmbirth mums about their experience of birth, motherhood and preparing for their babies. Thank you so much for sharing your stories and allowing me to be part of such a special time in your lives.

✨ Sarah
“Calm birth/ Cherie helped me to feel empowered during my labour and birth, even when faced with induction. I think back to my sons birth and feel joy and a sense of contentment that I got through it and I really think calm birth helped with that. Thankyou.”

✨ Portia
“We really enjoyed our calmbirth classes. Something that stood out was how prepared we were for labour. The class gave us all the tools we needed.”

✨ Mary
“The knowledge and confidence I gained from the Calm birth class gave me the best chance at having the birth I had envisioned. It was also so special because it was one of the first things we did to give our baby our the best possible start, and the first time I began to take on my identity as a Mother.”

✨ Fern
“Empowering women during one of the most vulnerable times in their lives—helping them feel confident, informed, supported, and deeply connected to the joy of bringing their baby into the world.”

✨ Catherine
“Calmbirth helped me to feel confident and empowered heading into labor and birth, knowing what to expect and with different tools to try for pain management. I’ll never forget the incredible feeling of finally picking up my daughter from the birth pool and holding her for the first time.”

✨ Hannah
“Calm Birth gave me the strength, knowledge and confidence to achieve my dream birth”

Yesterday was Abbie’s birthday and it made me realise I’m still working through writing my birth stories from my midwife notes.

I did my eldest (Zac) a while ago, and with her birthday yesterday I thought ok… time to finally do hers. It won’t take long, it was my quickest labour.

Abbie Lilly 🤍
Born 3/5/2000 (13 days past EDD… for the THIRD time 😅)
My smallest baby at 7lb 7oz (3.37kg)

She was breech at 33 weeks, I had really low iron (9.7) and ended up having iron injections from 35 weeks, but she turned head down thankfully, and my iron went up.

Labour started around midnight, Anna (my midwife) got the call at 2am and was there by 2.30. Things ramped up pretty quickly from there, contractions went from irregular to 2–3 mins apart, my sister Tan rubbing my back just trying to get through them.

Instinctively I knelt by the bed, waters broke at 4.10am, and then at 4.12am she was here.

Honestly I didn’t even realise she was coming. No big moment, no “I need to push”, she just slipped out and was suddenly there between my legs. Still one of the most surreal feelings.

Planned home birth with my midwife Anna and second midwife Samantha, my auntie there too, and even Wes woke up and wandered in.

I remember feeling completely washed out and nauseous, according to the notes I was feeling a lot more like myself by 6.30am, perhaps my body was a little in shock with the 2 hour labour!
Climbing into my own bed afterwards, nothing beats that. Just the best feeling.

I don’t remember heaps, just how FAST it all was, and the absolute shock when I realised she was a GIRL after two boys. To be honest I didn't realise how much I wanted a girl until I had her. For weeks after it just felt so strange to hang pink baby clothes on the line! Also I didn't think I'd dress my girl in pink!

So there you have it, birth story number two, my baby number 3 🤍

I’ll get Wes’s birth down on paper before his birthday in July, that’s the plan anyway.

I loved all my births!!! Thanks for reading 💚

If I could turn back time...
1. More skin to skin
2. Less visitors & less passing my baby around for a hold
3. No structure to feeding and sleeps
4. Lots more contact naps

"We cannot thank you enough. I came to your CalmBirth course for two main reasons - so that Georgio and I were on the same wavelength in the birth suite and to help me tackle some of the weight I carry from my role as a veterinarian and treating animals in distress in pregnancy and labour."

Hello Cherie,

We just wanted to reach out and let you know about our new addition.

Panicos James (PJ) Christofi entered the world at 4.58pm on Saturday 28/3. He was born at the LGH in the water following a natural, physiological labour after early membrane rupture the morning prior.

Georgio and I wish to thank you for the tools and knowledge your CalmBirth course gave us. Despite early membrane rupture and a suggestion for augmentation of labour I was able to still have the natural birth I had envisioned while feeling informed enough to make the safest decisions for bub and myself.

Georgio was a star birth support person and was able to advocate for me and discuss our birth plan with midwives. Despite a few wavers of confidence as labour progression ebbed and flowed over the course of the day I used visualisation, positive affirmations and turning inwards to bring our boy forth. I got into the birth pool at roughly 2.30pm and within 2.5 hours I was lifting PJ through my legs and onto my chest in what will always be the most surreal and empowering moment of my life thus far.

We cannot thank you enough. I came to your CalmBirth course for two main reasons - so that Georgio and I were on the same wavelength in the birth suite and to help me tackle some of the weight I carry from my role as a veterinarian and treating animals in distress in pregnancy and labour.

Sending you our very best and we look forward to bringing PJ to a morning tea soon.

Kate, Georgio & PJ
