In the early hours of Saturday, the team supported this incredible first time Mum as she birthed her baby girl at home in the pool. We love her positive affirmations – they reinforced her hypnobirthing techniques as her baby calmly arrived earthside. #Homebirthjusthappened

This beautiful cross stitch took her 260hrs to make (!) and made a lovely welcome for her baby daughter. #homebirthjusthappened
