WELCOME TO MAMA’S CLASSES

It’s me, Sisley from California. I just recently took your online birthing class on October 18th and it was right on time because my babygirl, Blythe Sol Johnson, showed up 3 weeks early when I was induced on 10/24/24! 

The birthing process was far from perfect and had so many ups and downs, but I am so thankful I was able to remain calm and much more informed thanks to you! We spent 6 days in the NICU because babygirl had a bit of a fight in her first couple days, but I am so grateful to be taking her home tonight, healthy as can be. You are truly amazing at what you do and as a black woman I am so appreciative of the space you have created online and for so many mamas!

Myself and my partner Patrick attended Mama's Classes Intense Labour Class on 15.02 and throughly enjoyed it! 

I gave birth on 29.03 to our baby boy ‘Pierre’ at 41 weeks as I was the furthest along in the class at the time. 

Best wishes, 
Jameé & Patrick xo

We came to your class in September and have told so many people about how helpful it was! We welcomed Archie on Sunday 20th - due to my gestational diabetes and obstetric cholestasis diagnosis they booked us in for an induction...which ended up going kinda rapid fire and he was out within 14hrs. So much of your class helped us feel so prepared and ready for the many unexpected twists and turns...and particularly for Jeremy as a birth partner to feel confident when I had 0 capacity to do anything other than be in my body and pushing. We ended in theater with forceps as his head was slightly in the wrong position and getting a bit of swelling (likely due to him not having a ton of time to get in quite the right position!) I also really loved practicing on the birthing ball, I was on it for most of labor and had you in my head talking about positioning of my legs and knees to open my pelvis! 

So a huge thank you! You're exceptional at what you do, and helped us go into the most intense experience feeling like a much more confident team...and for that I am enormously grateful. 

I took your class back in June and I gave birth not long after on the 15th July just two days after my due date. I didn’t have a birth plan at all but your class made it so that I had one and I was well informed for when I did go into labour. My boyfriend/birth partner revised those notes well hahaha and was there with me every step of the way. I ended up having a C section so best believe daddy went everywhere baby went.

I want to thank you so much, I went from feeling like I know nothing to feeling confident and way more at ease going into labour as a first time mum.

Baby is nearly 12 weeks now and I’ve attached some pictures too. If you need to use them for anything I am happy for you to do that. Keep up your amazing work!!

Baby is growing, learning, happy and healthy!

Hi Mama's Classes,
I attended your class in Streatham at 33 weeks and I had my little boy at 42 weeks on the dot !!! 36 hour labour which started at home and I did most of it at home (Thursday evening going into Friday morning). Then went into hospital and was 5cm dilated. Really wanted a water birth but I couldn’t because of my BMI (rolls eyes!) - they said if I was to collapse or pass out in the pool it would be risky and hard to get me out! 

So I did most of my labour on gas and air and in the last couple hours going into Saturday morning I took the epidural, but a light one where I could still move my legs (didn’t even know that was a thing). Pushed him out 29.06.24 at 8.07am weighing a whopping 8.14 and only had 4 stitches. I don’t where he was hiding because my bump was no where near that size !

I literally had a mini you on my shoulder reminding me everything I needed to do!! I can’t thank you enough. You’re really changing the narrative of people’s birthing stories for us women. You are really out here doing the lords work and God will bless you triple fold for all you do!! 

He is still nameless lol! For now he’s called baby landlord (boss of the house)!

Hi Mama's Classes!! I just wanted to say thank you SO MUCH for your antenatal class in Toronto, Canada. I was one of the couples there, and we had our baby girl, Amaya, on January 6th. A huge part that helped during my labour and delivery was something that you kept mentioning during the class, which was to always make the decision that’s best for your mental health and for you and baby. 

Even though a lot didn’t go as I expected:

- I got diagnosed with preeclampsia 1 day before my due date & had to be induced on my due date 

- An OB ended up breaking my water 

- By 8cm, I was desperate for an epidural as I was getting terrible labour pain in the front and back

At the end of all of that, I was just so relieved that baby came out happy and healthy and we were both ok! And your class made that possible. Thank you so much for all the advice and guidance 🥰

Hey Mama's Classes I just wanted to say that I’ve been thinking about you and how much you made an impact on my pregnancy. I’ll actually never forget you and how at peace you made me feel. I just had to email you because I really hope you know how much I appreciate you and everything you do for us mums 

P.s maybe I’ll have another baby just to come back to one of your classes lol 

May God bless you always and bless you abundantly.  
Our Kaari - Lael has grown so much she’s now 8 months.

Hey Mama's Classes,
I attended your class on the 8th March with my husband Joseph it was great and very reassuring for me thank you very very much.

I wanted to give you an update. The following Tuesday on the 11th of March I unfortunately went into pre term labour and due to baby boy’s heart rate dropping too low as a a result of the contractions I had to deliver my baby via emergency section at 35 +5 weeks.

Baby Judah is doing just fine thankfully we did have to stay in the hospital for 5 days but we are home now thank God. If it wasn’t for you mentioning about the importance of healthy baby and mother regardless of delivery I would have probably gone against the advice from the midwives and consultants. Still very early days and very much in shock at how things changed and how I went from having a low risk pregnancy to high risk in a matter of hours.

Really appreciate everything you’re doing have not got around to even editing the content I got from the session yet but will post and tag you soon and hoping one day in future you’ll have a mummy brunch for those that attended you class!

Hi Mama's Classes,
I totally still have baby brain but i had my son at 42 weeks via emergency c-section due to failed induction.

He was a big boy measuring at 9Ibs 3oz the backache was real the last few weeks

Although i wasn’t able to have the natural birth i had hoped i did get to use some of your tips and tricks here and there which i was thankful for. 

Meet Ellijah,
A very happy baby.
