VINNY

The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. I was following my routine as usual with a hope of getting labour pains to be started soon. And there it was. I still remember the mixed feeling of joy and pain when my labour started. I was excited too. It was 11.15 at night when it started. I took the pains overnight till 6.30 in the morning. One thing I didn’t forget was breathing and squatting as instructed by my yoga trainer, thanks a tonne! I took the pains in a very sporty way; the hospital staff was also astonished to see this. The long journey didn’t end here. When my contractions were in full swirl, I was taken to the labour room and then what happened was implausible for me and my husband who was a grave shore up during my pregnancy and labour. I delivered my baby in just 8 minutes. I think my little adorable daughter was fervent to come in this world. No words can express the beauty and majesty of motherhood. God has completed me with a beautiful blessing. Of all the rights of women, the greatest is to be a mother.

Joining Birth and Beyond classes was one of the wisest steps that me and my husband had taken for our baby’s successful and safe arrival into this world. After meeting Ms. Neeru we felt confident that we were making a right decision. Once the classes started, each day bought a new confidence in me, I got relevant and helpful information about pregnancy and childbirth. I often asked various queries throughout my pregnancy and got proper respond to that, I was able to overcome my worries, fears, questions and insecurities. Specially my concern about successful and natural delivery of a healthy baby as I was already 30 plus at that time and I heard that late age deliveries used to be complicated. But under the guidance of Neeru maam I overcome all this, she made me believe in my body and ignite the confidence in me that I can do it. Read More

Two weeks short of my due date, my little one decided to come into this world without any warning. My scan that was taken 2 day back showed no signs of the baby being ready to descend. Just like that, one fine night I went to bed and woke up in the middle of the night with mild contractions that I thought were Braxton Hicks. this would have been the first time I would’ve experienced false contraction. But after two hours of steady progress in the pain, I had to call my doctor. I thought I needed something to ease the pain so i can go back to sleep.
Upon doing an internal exam (also my first one), it turned out I was already 3cms dilated. From here on, it all happened so quickly that my birth plan went in the bin. I had no time for an epidural. Within the next hour I was taken to the labor room. when the second internal exam was done, the water bag ruptured.
I was by now 8 cms dilated. At his point my doctor said, “show me what squats they taught you in class”. A couple of spasms in the squatting position and there it was – the miracle of life.
After 3 hours of active labor and 5 hours of total labor, my son was on my belly. I had no time to wrap my head around what just happened and how quickly everything changed. Through out my classes with Neeru Ma’am i would only hear other people’s stories of easy births and pray i was one of them. And my wish caught me by surprise. Thank you Neeru Ma’am.

HARSHITA

It is often said that being a mother is rebirth of women”. After experiencing this I completely agree to it. My sedentary lifestyle was replaced by regular fitness regime & despite of algophobia my labor pain is a testimony to above statement.I and my husband went to hospital at 3am on 4 April’16(Sunday night) and I was induced labor pains.But my induction was slow because of which the medication was increased. The saviour for me in the extreme pains was the breathing techniques I learned by joining my mentor Mrs.Neeru & my husband support during the entire process
As I was continuously reminded by my husband to focus on breathing.But the destiny has its own faith so even after bearing the long pain my baby’s heartbeat started going down and I had to go for emergency C-Section.And finally my baby was born at 2pm on 5th Apr’16(Tuesday afternoon). So I have experienced both normal and c-section in one go.
I was able to tolerate the pains of entire birthing process because of 3 reasons:-
(1) Because of exercise I was doing during pregnancy.
(2) My husband’s presence because he motivated me a lot.
(3) And the most important is to hold our beautiful princess in our hands.

For my darling daughter..
This is our birth story 🙂

When I found out I was pregnant I knew I wanted to have a normal delivery but I was very afraid of the concept. To relieve that fear I started looking for some yoga classes I could join during pregnancy and…. Voila !!! I found Rita’s pregnancy 101. There I met Neeru, who played a vital part in my decision making about the delivery.On the morning of 12th December 2015, at around 5:30, I had my first contraction.. I waited 2 hours before telling this to your nani. She did an internal examination and told me that you will arrive soon.. May be in 3-4 hours ! I was ecstatic and started packing our bags ! Yes.. Ours.. One for each of us. Read More

I had a wonderful birthing experience and I would like to share it with all of you.

I joined P101 classes in my second trimester with Neeru Ma’am. I was given Exercise/Meditation classes which prepared me physically & mentally for the process of birthing.

I was guided through the Presentation classes with regard to my Diet, Baby care, Breast feeding and also how to handle myself during the Delivery process. I also did Squats till the last day which were very helpful.

My contractions started at midnight and I sailed smoothly through them because I focused on deep breathing as I was taught in the class.

I went to the hospital in the morning and was immediately taken to the delivery room. I had my baby within 1 hour of my arrival. My recovery post-delivery was also much faster due to the work put in earlier at the classes.

Thank you so much Neeru Ma’am for your constant encouragement, support and guidance.

Best Wishes,

Puneet Sekhon.

Stay focussed yet distracted, that’s how I will sum up my labor and delivery! As guided by Neeru mam I decided to distract myself from pain & stay focussed on the beautiful end. During pains I played cards, took walk outside my room, changed positions & beds with my attendants, ate chocolates, watched IPL. Every time contraction started I looked at the clock to count 45 seconds and breathe until over. Neither did I scream nor cry, so much so that my family thought I’m not having enough pains had informed the hospital staff & family that cesarean is not even an option!! when “the” time came I recalled that we have to push when we feel the urge & not when Read More

I miss being pregnant -but evrytime i think about my Labour pains ,the only thought thats comes in my mind is -“i cant do this again
I was always scared of needles but Thanks to Yoga clases and Neeru Mam that i had almost overcome my child birth fear,was prepared for Labour ,the new reaponsibilty and was confident. 5nov 2015,the day i was blessed-morning when i woke up,i noticed little spotting and i knew the time has cone-my and baby bag were packed ,we went to hospital, and after examining i was told that there was nothing wrong and we can wait for the due date which was after 5 days..but till then i have to be very carefull and cautious about baby movements-bt as it is my MIL nd Husband were tensed they dint wanted to take any risk so insisted on getting induced.. which i was against,but as per the doctor there was no harm in inducing because the baby is full term so even I agreed on it..thy gave me a small tablet and startd the drip-and in sometime the contractions started,i thought pains would come after regular intervals but th pains startd wd a gap of 4-5 mins,so i started swaying on birthing ball borrowed fem yoga clas ,and within half n hour ,time gap became short and intensity of pain was high-so i startd squating –

my husband who stays in other city,i don’t knw when he reached and startd asking stupid ques , “Is it paining so bad ? R u ok ? how much is the pain?”I just wanted to shout and scold him in really bad words but because my MiL was siting so,I just clenched my nails in his wrist in anger,,,after all it was all hapening because of him…. Well with each contraction i was doing my breathing exercise,the pain was geting unbearable and the time gap was continously gtin less ,contractions were coming after half or 1 minute and then started the strong urge to pee again n again ,dnt knw how but now i was breathing and screaming at the same time,thats it they finally took me to labour room…i dint realise i was in pain for 2hours,anyways my doc was happy because i was breathing with each contraction…. I kept asking why is baby not coming out, please take the baby out,why the hell its not getting out, after a while i said i cant do anymore,evrything down there is ripping apart , I was tired of pushing,,she said the baby’s about to come as the head is visible, thats it, i knew now is “THe TIMe” , and with all my strengh I pushed hard,I could feel the cut on my perinieum.but as there was so mch goin on ,i cud hardly undrstand wich part of me is paining…at this time i had forgotten all breathing gyan,i was screaming badly,i jst wanted baby to come out and i felt some movemnt down there….. And sauddenly i realised that the baby is out and on my tummy, this made my tummy warm, i was happy mission accomplishd-i saw the baby..and thy took baby foe cleaning ,then i realised baby dint cry,i asked if the baby is healthy and fine ,boy or girl,why is bby not cryin-doctor told,baby is perfctly fine and am blessed with a princess, they opened the door and i could hear her loud bt melodius voice-she was crying so loud..i was all teary and hppy…and hu said the pain vanishes after baby cms out ,,huhhh now placenta was pulled out,cleaning,perinieum stiches ufff it was painful.. I wanted them to finish off everything asap as I wanted to hold my hold and hug my baby tightly..but was scared she was so delicate and tiny..was so emotional dint wanted to talk to anybdy,just wanted to cry cry cry-it was so divine as if i have done some miracle, which no one else has ever done..i was so happy as if i hav achieved an award…i felt as if am a super woman who has jst accomplished an imposible task-the feeling that i have created her was so overwhelming…this was truely Love at First Sight…the sense of accomplishment was such that i forgot all the pain….and then enters my husband three of us meeting for the first time and i told him…”thats it no more baby-i cant do it again,isi se sab shouk pure kar lo”…(though i was the one who always wanted atleast 3kids)…Well To sum it up all, I would just say that I have never ever fallen so deeply in love with anyone.. not even my husband.. we always think that we love someone or some moments the most in our life ,but what one feels when one gives birth and holds the baby for the first time surpasses everything.. there is no word in the dictionary to describe the feeling!! I really thank God for this Blessing i call “NAYRA ” 🏼.Love️ Tanya Sharma

My pregnancy was initially not that bad. I had little morning sickness but nothing really bad. Before my pregnancy i was really thin and i gained alot of weight during my pregnancy. I could feel that i wasn’t that active anymore and even doing something very little seemed like a task. Around the beginning of my 5th month i had severe pain in my back and it travelled all the way to my leg. Turned out it was my sciatic nerve and i was in extreme pain because of it. That’s when my doctor told me about Sanchi and how yoga might help. I went to her classes and it was one of the best decisions. Not only did i get relief from my pain but i also started feeling active and positive. The classes were fun as well as so informative. Read More

I came to know about Sanchi’s prenatal classes through a common friend when i was very keen to join something related to yoga during my 1st trimester .
I began classes in the starting of my 2nd trimester (4month). From the very first day of class i felt a connect with Sanchi her postivity , beautiful aura made my decision firm of attending classes. though i could physically attend classes for just a week (due to medical reasons) but i kept my regularity through online sessions.
It helped me alot to maintain a discipline in my journey of bedrest and calmness while being connecting online. Sanchi was always a call away whenever i faced any problem.
The yoga sessions, information sessions were very helpful. Even the interactions through online class was much helpful and made me positive througout my pregnancy.

To begin with i would like to thank and express my sincere gratitude to Neeru mam and Sanchi mam. I started my yoga sessions in 8th month of pregnancy online though not soo regular but still i could see changes in my body.

As soon as i started with my 9th month i started practicising yoga with Sanchi mam offline and became regular with it. The last 1 month practice only helped me soo much that i Delivered Normal child and also without taking any epidural.

All thanks to these two people under whose guidance it was all possible. Looking forward to there post natal classes now to get back in shape. (Hoping it starts soon)

Our baby’s birth story is a bit long but bear with it .. (We will cherish forever!! 🩷🩷)
We found out in 34th week that our baby is in breech presentation and if it continues then I cannot deliver naturally. I discussed with my gynae & radiologist ,googled and researched that it’s very rare to get the baby in the right position after this week, I was bit disappointed… 😞 😞(because after attending yoga sessions with Sanchi and Lamaze classes with Neeru ma’am I was highly motivated to deliver naturally).
On some days my overthinking led me to feel doctors can’t be wrong ,they are telling with their experience.
But Sanchi never left the hope. Before & after the yoga sessions we did specific exercises to turn the baby upside down , with her guidance did music and laser techniques to make this happen …
My gynaecologist and radiologist both gave up after the scan in the 36th week saying baby will not turn now … they prepared me saying it’s ok to have C-sec don’t get disheartened…

My morale was down , I told this to Sanchi & she was still so optimistic about it and encouraged me by saying ‘hoga hoga , ho jaega , hum kr lenge.’ She used to say manifest kr Malvika baby turn ho gya hai , talk to your baby and tell your baby to turn, Tera baby Teri baat manega …’ & I felt these words deep in my heart ❤️. Trust me because of her continuous support and encouragement me & my husband kept on saying this to our baby and started manifesting in our minds that baby has already turned.On the 38th week ultrasound (final ultrasound before doctor could decide the date when to do C -sec ) to our surprise our baby listened to us. She had finally turned … OMG 🥹🥹!!! Me n my husband couldn’t control our excitement at that moment. We were beaming from ear to ear .. 😀😀 I immediately called Sanchi and said ‘ we did it we did it ‘. Haha I can still feel the goosebumps…During the Lamaze session with Neeru Ma’am, we were discussing about our fears regarding pregnancy, delivery, baby … I had this greatest fear , what if I am not able to feed my baby !! I shared this with her , she simply smiled 😊 and asked me ‘are you able to feed your baby now ‘ , to which I said ‘ yes’ then she said ‘ you will be able to do it then as well’.. her answer gave me assurance & confidence.My sugar levels were bit high & baby had gained good amount of weight so my doctor decided that she will not wait for natural labour but will induce labour .. During my last visit to doctor, I was already 4cm dilated , I continued going to Sanchi for the classes even after that.. All thanks to her deep knowledge & week specific exercises which helped me to remain flexible, energetic, confident, and positive about my body and mind.I was admitted in the hospital in 39th week… ( a night before that I went to have South Indian food , dosa & coconut chutney which I was badly craving for, it was such a fulfilling meal 😋!! ).Everything was going smooth in the morning … the dilation from 4cm to 9cm went so quick …. The ball exercises , stretching , walking, breathing exercises helped a lot …. (shouting & screaming at my husband also worked 🤣🤣😜😜hehehe.. ) jokes apart he was continuously encouraging me & kept on saying ‘ you are doing really good ‘ 😊.All the motivational words by Neeru Ma’am were rushing through my brain… I clearly remembered her saying ‘ You will never come to know your body’s threshold until you try, so you have to try’.. I was able to bear the pain.. I didn’t give up … by the time I asked for epidural it was too late …After 7-8 hours of active labour & regular doctor’s checkups… doctor said baby’s head was just not dropping. We decided for c- section. During the procedure I could hear doctor saying baby had triple loops of umbilical cord around her neck. No chance I could have delivered normally… ahhhhhWhen I heard my baby for the first time my heart skipped a beat & my heart was filled with gratitude 🙏 & no regrets. When I saw her for the very first time it was all worth it & it all made sense …!!! ☺️☺️PS: Whenever I meet a mom to be, I proudly boast about Sanchi’s classes how they used to be the highlight of the day & Lamaze classes by Neeru Ma’am were absolutely wonderful 😀😀. Thank you so much !! You made our journey even more enjoyable & memorable.Also, now I am a strong believer of power of manifestation!!

Hey everyone. I used to get excited and anxious at the same time reading the birthing stories that new mommies used to post every now and then in the group. Now that I’ve become a mommy, I’m sooo excited to share mine. I delivered my baby girl on June 21st.
I came for a regular 39th week checkup at Cloudnine on June 20th and Dr Seema suggested that I’ll deliver on the 26th June as the baby was all ready to come (I was 1cm dilated). Also,not to forget the internal done by Dr Seema was the biggest scare I got before delivering (some of the friends explained that it will be a terror) 🤣. It was not at all painful and the way Dr motivates , makes you confident to a next level.Me and my friend chilled, went to Ketliwala for some maggi and chai ☕️ Read More
