From Amy: “I have nothing but positive emotions about Jonah’s birth. I was hesitant before but also excited and curious about the whole experience. I was amazed at how afterwards I was just on a high and feeling so good. I can honestly say it was an enjoyable and empowering experience. I attribute this to the new knowledge I had, the support from my husband, the care from the amazing midwives and because it was all natural – allowing my body’s appropriate birthing hormones to be released. LOVED IT!”

From Natalie: “WOW! What an amazing birth! I have never felt through my labours that people have listened to me; this labour was different.
The support, care, faith, and strength my midwife gave me was incredible. I was able to birth my child and have the birth I wanted! What a success after two caesereans.”

… relinquishing control and trusting myself didn’t come with ease. Pre-natally I waged my own internal war over territories of control and memory. All the while, our midwife sat through with her faith (in me) in her lap, listening, loving and above all respecting my passage. Our son’s birth was a gift. D, 2010

This is the second time we have used the LBC. It is a more natural, more private birthing option. Less confronting, less clinical, more human.
We have had two experiences now, one required assistance at the QVH with a ventouse birth with labour and post care at LBC. The advice and guidance throughout made hospitalisation OK.

This time we managed the whole birth here and it was the most beautiful and amazing and comforting experience. Being so relaxed and natural meant that my body was able to do what it needed to. It felt how I know childbirth should be for everyone. We have made the LBC our home away from home. I am so proud our children were born here and so grateful to our midwife and team for enabling us to do so.” Nick and Victoria, 2011
