April 28, 2019 By Katrina Zaslavsky

I already had a 2-year-old daughter that came into this world horrifically after induction, 24 hours of torture and an instrumental delivery and I’d lost my left tube due to an […]

Surprise home water birth: The most incredible experience of my life!

January 31, 2019 By Katrina Zaslavsky

I recall the first day I attended a Prenatal Yoga class at around 24 weeks pregnant. At that stage, I was so nervous and fearful of the thought of childbirth, that I ended up bursting into tears in front of 15 or so other yoga class mums at the end of the class. Obviously, I knew […]

I just delivered my baby naturally- frank breech!

August 6, 2017 By Katrina Zaslavsky

I just delivered my baby frank breech on 5/30/17. Went into labor at 6am, waited it out and arrived at the hospital just before 8am. I was fully dilated when I arrived.

Birthing the biggest baby she has attended – Home birth of Alexander George

June 21, 2017 By Katrina Zaslavsky
