Lora - Hi Jessica,
I'm finally getting to emailing you. Sorry it took so long!

I had to stop going to your class because it was too hot those Saturdays before I delivered and my fluids were dropping to low levels...more

Jessica-

Hi. I just wanted to give you a big THANK YOU for being a wonderful teacher and supporter for the past six months. I started your class in my third month just wanting to stay active. It turned out your class was such a blessing...more

Betsy - Dear Jessica and Kula,

Wow, I have set a record for not only the longest labor but also longest period before writing my birth experience.

On August 21 I spent the evening watching a marathon of "My So Called Life" on DVD. I finished the episode where Jordan grabs Angela's hand in the hallway, come on people. I went to bed at around midnight and forty minutes later I was having intense contractions... more

Chia - Dear Jessica,

I just checked your website to catch up on the latest baby news. I'm glad to hear that everyone is doing well. I'm typing this letter with one hand as I hold my new baby, Ethan, in the other.

Tuesday, November 9-- I was making dinner when my water broke... more

Gabriela - Dear Jessica (and girls at the studio):

I got back from the Hospital last Sunday night. I have to say that being attended to at UCLA was one of the best experiences of my life; not only because of their excellent care, but also because UCLA is a great place to give birth, an 100 % safe place for you, your husband and most importantly, your baby... more

Julie - Fiona Jill Dubin

Hi all. Reading Gabriela's birth story inspired me to finally sit down and write mine. Like Gabriela said, every one is different and every one, equally spiritual. Even though my labor ended with a c-section (not what I planned!), all my labor preparation... more

Amy - Zachary Julian

Dear Jessica and the lovely, cool kula ladies,

I'm finally sending you greetings from Mommyville! Little Zachary Julian arrived three days early on December 22, 2004 (I guess he didn't want to take on the burden of being the new Messiah!) He weighed in at 8 lbs. and 20" long. Oh boy, big boy. Talk about being caught by surprise. His arrival was certainly not expected (I was sure he'd be late.) Thanks to your lovely classes, I was both physically and mentally flexible for the unexpected events...more

Lucy - Rémy Xavier Tangye Lean Rachou

Dear Jessica,

He's here! Rémy Xavier Tangye Lean Rachou arrived on February 6th at 1.28 am at home.

At 5am on the 5th of February (my due date) my waters broke - nothing dramatic -I was lying in bed and felt a trickle of water. All through the day I had mini contractions, every 9 - 10 minutes. They didn't hurt and were like mild cramps. We spent the day preparing for the birth - setting up the birthing tub...more
