Dear Akiko,
I had no doubts that you could do the natural birth even if you ended up giving birth at home or in the water.

Ciara Tuquero's birth
Hi Chiqui, we texted back last time using sherwin's number...you know what Chiqui, I arrived in the hospital at 6cm dilated (still smiling) doing all the breathing exercises and different positions that you taught us...but when I hit transition, all hands up...I resorted to epidural, so sad...Sherwin was not allowed to enter the delivery room while Cay was being delivered...and since our ob was so supportive of us, well she knew for a fact that we attended birthing classes for that big day, sabi niya "para wag masayang, you can still use your pushing skills-what you have practiced before..." and the rest was history...
Regarding the Manulife proposal, we'll text you as soon as I am fully recovered....
Thank you very much Chiqui!

Natural Birth by Grace Kho-Gan
Hi,
I'm from your 191 class last september, and I just want to share my experience giving birth.
I was able to give birth 100% lamaze with no anaesthesia! woohoo!
Basically, my labor lasted for 10 hours. The pain was manageable during the 1st 4 hours, but it got really painful after that. What kept me in tune was simply focusing on the abdominal breathing.
Simply knowing what was going on during the whole process also helped ease my mind. My cervix opened slowly from 10PM to 4AM, it only opened up to 4cm. However, from 6Am onward it opened roughly 1 cm every 30 minutes. Finally the baby came out at 8AM.
Your class helped me because I knew the various stages of labor and what to look for. This allowed my mind to be systematic and focused on a goal. Thanks for your class!
Now, I am having a challenging time post birth, perhaps you can help answer some questions I have.
1. How do you know when the baby already has enough to eat during feeding? Any signs or techniques?
2. How can you condition the baby to sleep through the night?
3. After making sure the baby is well fed, changing the diaper, burping, and everything else to make sure she's comfortable, she has a tendency to still cry and I'm not sure what else to look for. Any tips?
4. At what point do you recommend to start taking the baby outside in places like malls,restaurants, parks, and other public/crowded places?
She's 100% breastfed.
Thanks Chiqui!

Birth Story: Therese's
hi chiqui!
i was one of your students in your childbirth preparedness class #189 at Pulse Yoga, GH. I gave birth to a healthy baby girl last September 10,2010. I was planning to go all natural but, sadly, i was forced to go under the knife (cesarean).
I was in labor for more than 24 hours. I noticed the contractions began at around 1am, September 9. I kept waking up in the middle of the night because of the discomfort. At first I didn't know that it was already actual labor, I even went to work that day! But the contractions kept getting more frequent, coming every 10-15 minutes. I then decided to have myself checked and when I went to the Medical City, they told me I was already 2cm dilated but that my contractions were quite strong and frequent so they had to confine me.
They placed me in the labor room from 12nn (Sept 9) to 9pm, after which they transferred me to the lamaze room. At that point I was still pretty comfortable and my mother accompanied me for a time. By 1am (Sept 10), my mother left and my boyfriend (my coach) took over. That's when we found that I was already 3cm dilated. The midwife on duty advised me to get some rest and sleep.
At around 4am, i woke up with an excruciating pain in my abdominal area and a soaked hospital gown. an ie confirmed that my water had already broke at 4cm dilation. At that point I got really scared and excited at the same time. Luckily I was prepared and did not panic. My coach helped calm me down with breathing exercises when i showed the slightest hint of distress.
Unfortunately, by 8am, I was still at 4cm. My OB then gave an ultimatum: if, by 9am, there was no progress, i would have to undergo an emergency CS. And that's what happened.
I gave birth to my daughter, Alison Lucille, Lucy for short, at 9:38am, September 10, 2010, five days after my 20th birthday.
This is my birth story. Without your class, it probably would've been different. I wouldn't have been as prepared or as calm as I was.I wouldn't have known what was happening. I bet I would've panicked . But thank you, Chiqui, for being a great teacher and for helping me deliver the most wonderful gift ever! :)

Birth Story: Cheryl's
Hi Mama Chiqui,
Just wanted to let you know that we gave birth two weeks ago. Although I don't have a birthing story - I did blog about things that I remembered during my C-section. :)
http://currant7.blogspot.com/2010/09/new-addition-colin-edward.html
They glued my skin on the outside and kept the stitches inside. Amazing on progress. I've been walking around a day or two after the surgery and have been carrying Colin Edward around the same time since I had to breastfeed and comfort the little one in our hospital room. Ed was abit scared to carry him during the first few days...now he's bottle feeding him and looking forward to it. :)
Hugs,
Cheryl
