"Hi Sam
Just wanted to let you know that I have a 4 week old little boy called Chester. He is adorable!! I had the best ever birth - an unplanned home birth!! My waters broke at 1am at home then my contractions started really strongly immediately but I thought I was only in the first stage of labour so breathed through the contractions in my bed until 7am when we rang the midwife. She arrived at 7.30 am and prononounced me fully dilated and she could see the baby's head. We didn't have time to get to birthcare so he was born at 8.50am in our bed.
Your advice was AMAZING and definitely helped me so much. I am recommending you to my sister who is 10 weeks pregnant.
Thank you so much"
