I met you when I thought my baby was breach but as he had turned you gave us massage technique and all the remedies for an easier birth - I have to tell you - you were right, that my baby would '' fall out''. I started having contractions at 6am, got to the hospital at 7.30am and had him at 8am. It was so quick, drug free and no stitches. SO THANK YOU. He was a big bub, 9lb 3oz.
