Amy & Thomas

2nd Baby

Wanted to share our news on baby boy number two Thomas Rhys Huggett. … I did it!! I never knew how incredible it’d feel having a totally natural birth with a touch of gas and air at the most. You helped me in so many ways in that room. Thank you! Never thought I’d be able to do it but here we are 💙 I think understanding the process a little more and also learning from your first Labour that you’ve got to try and stay in control in your head - that certainly was the biggest difference for me this time!

A brisk walk around Upton Country Park yesterday got contractions coming in quickly at around midday, called and checked into Haven Ward and Thomas was born at 6.02pm (40 weeks and 5 days). Golden thread, cafetiere and my husband's constant reminder of floppy face, floppy fanny in true Dulcie style worked a dream plus some gas and air!
My first labour was quite traumatic and required intervention but this time around I have never felt so empowered and proud of what our bodies can achieve! Thank you Dulcie for everything you teach us 💙 now to a house of three boys 💙
