Mason's Homebirth

It has been a month since my last blog but we have a great excuse! We have been on our Babymoon with the newest addition -Mason Rook born 26/12/10

This blog was started to share our learning experiences in our home and the birth of my son was an amazing learning experience for all of us that continues every day of his life.

My complete birth story can be found at

Through the birth of my second blessing i have learnt the power of relaxation and the miracle of what the body can do when it is not interfered with. I encourage any pregnant woman to ask questions and trust in her own instincts. If you have had a negative birth experience previously, do the research, educate yourself as your birth experience is the first decision you will be making as a parent and we all want what is best for our children.

Why do we as woman not talk about our birth experiences unless they are negative? Why do we spend more time looking for the perfect school to send our child to but just select the first "well regarded" medical professional around to support us through such a private experience as labour?

Our children are precious and they deserve to be taught how natural birth is so they too can experience the magical experience of childbirth one day with no fear
