BIRTH PREP
“I don’t know if this short story is going to completely express how thankful I am that Laura was put in my path during my pregnancy.”
My first son ended up in a c-section and it was a traumatic experience for me. I got pregnant and again and COVID happened, I really didn’t know what to expect, but having a VBAC was my #1 goal to be less time in the hospital and have a better recovery since I have a 3-year-old. This wouldn’t have been possible without Laura’s help (all online). I was amazed how no one made me aware of every single part of my body that was going to be involved in the delivery, until I started to talk with Laura. Every exercise, every picture, and info that she gave me, made me connect and work with my body. During the last month of my pregnancy, every single day I was doing exercises to prepare my body, and Laura was always present to encourage me and see how I was feeling. Even with an epidural, I was able to focus just like she showed me and relax my pelvic floor, breathing and pushing the right way so that my baby was able to come down. I enjoyed working and knowing what my body was doing during labor. I felt connected. And today I can say that my VBAC was thanks to Laura. – Mariana
“I was in labor for more than 20 hours and the breathing techniques taught by Laura were key to focus and relax.”
I was 38 weeks when I did Laura’s class to prepare for labor. I wish I have done it a bit sooner because the exercises and information were truly helpful, not just for labor but also to move and feel good in those last few weeks. I had a big bump and was very bloated, moving around for me was not easy, so the relief from these exercises was crucial. After the class, I started doing a daily routine that made me feel more in sync with my body and baby. I was in labor for more than 20 hours and the breathing techniques taught by Laura were key to focus and relax. I did great pushing, and I am sure it had to do with the Push Prep I learnt from her. What I learnt in a couple of hours was totally worthy for the upcoming challenge. – Cristina
“That same night I thanked Laura because I knew that it was because of what she had taught me that the experience was so much better than my first time!”
I attended Laura’s Mommy & Me classes during my entire pregnancy and since the first class, I was impressed by her teaching method, her focus on the correct way of breathing, and how passionate was about it. So, I decided to attend her Birth Prep class towards the end of my pregnancy because I was curious to know about her Push Prep method. I had told her that my experience with my first son was a bit traumatic and I was terrified of going through that again. Fortunately, in the class she showed me how to push in the most effective way. Labor Day came and I did exactly what she taught me, the doctor and nurse looked at each other and said, “she knows how to push!”, I pushed 5 times and in 10 minutes I had my baby girl in my arms! That same night I thanked Laura because I knew that it was because of what she had taught me that the experience was so much better than my first time! I will be forever grateful! – Alessandra
