'As the carol singers lifted my spirits, I felt my bump tightening. This felt much stronger than the practice contractions I’d had previously'
Christmas has always been a romantic, positive time of year for me. My husband, Jack, and I got engaged at Christmas, and both he and my brother have Christmas birthdays.So when I found out my baby’s due date was in mid-December, I was over the moon.
Back home, I went upstairs to quietly write Christmas cards, stopping to breathe deeply when I felt a tightening, until Jack called me down for tea. I crept into Freddie’s bedroom just as an intense contraction gripped my bump and I lay, silently cuddling him as the pressure overtook my body – it was a special moment I’ll always remember.
‘It’s pushing time,’ she said. The pool was ready, so all I needed to do was waddle down the corridor to it. I took Jack’s arm, but on the way I had a sudden urge to deliver the baby.I gathered all my energy and, rather than pushing, breathed and focused all my energy downwards I held her close, feeling her gorgeous gooey skin against mine. ‘Our baby girl!’ I gasped to Jack. I was overjoyed. Baby Heidi breastfed a few minutes afterwards and slept contentedly on my chest.
