Megan's Birth StoryHi Vittoria,
We're so thrilled to announce that our little Soren Henry has arrived! The 8 lb 3 oz wonder came into this world (quickly!) on Monday, December 10th at 2:21 pm. We are all healthy, happy and well.
The yoga truly helped me during labor, although it went so fast, I wasn't able to use all of the techniques we had prepared! I think learning to breathe was the greatest benefit of all.
Thank you so much, Vittoria. I look forward to post-natal yoga!

Update, a few days later....
Hi Vittoria - Things are going so well - Parenthood is amazing and Tom and I are beside ourselves! My labor was really incredible. Here's the story for you -I woke up with gentle contractions around 2:30 am on Monday, and by 3:30 I knew they were coming regularly and were getting a little stronger. Tom and I labored at home until 9:30 am. Contractions were tolerable the entire time - we went for a walk, used the ball, massaged - I even worked on a puzzle for a while! When we got to the hospital, I was only 1 1/2 cm. We labored for another couple hours, spent 30 minutes in the jacuzzi tub, then was checked again and was only 2cm. That was a bit disappointing - considering contractions were fast and painful at this point. I asked for an epidural, but things progressed too quickly for any pain medication. They didn't even have time to hook up an IV with a drip narcotic. My water broke on its own 50 minutes after I was only 2cm. I had gone from 2cm to 10cm in less than an hour. I pushed for about 45 minutes, and Soren had arrived! Our midwife said that I had the labor every first time mother dreams about, and next time things will go even faster!
We are enjoying every moment with our son and my body is slowly beginning to feel like itself again. I will probably look into starting post-natal yoga after the New Year. Have a wonderful holiday season and thank you again for all you taught me these past 9 months. I have really enjoyed your classes.
