"I truly believe the education and mindset from hypnobirthing helped us stay calm, grounded and focused on our birth preferences. It gave us the confidence to pause, ask questions and advocate for what we felt was best."
"I ended up labouring until 5cm with no pain relief except for a Tens machine and breathing... then got to 9cm at about 6:30pm."
"It was induced but vaginal and with minimal interventions as we wanted. I also managed to go through the entire process with no anaesthesia at all!"
"I got to 8cm’s dilated AT HOME! I spent about 4 hours at the hospital before giving birth."
"I knew it wouldn’t be long as when I was on all fours on the bed waiting for the pool to be filled I had the feeling of wanting to bear down and honestly 10 minutes after I got into the water our little baby boy was here."
"I had the same instinct as I did with Alvie and needed to lay on my side with my leg up to birth our beautiful chunky monkey. We did it all with no pain relief and just all our hypnobirthing tools from last time with you."
"I went into labour on Christmas morning, they couldn't stop it. It was very fast. It was 40 mins all up from onset to baby being born."
"From my first contraction at 9:30pm to her delivery at 10:38pm (on my bedroom floor!!) she was a speedy gal who wanted to be out asap. Paramedics walked through our door just as Hugo was catching her!"
Here’s how birth partners can transform from passive bystanders into empowered, amazing supports:
When it comes to birth, many partners are unsure about their role. They might feel they’ll be on the sidelines, offering occasional encouragement, but hypnobirthing changes the game. In hypnobirthing, partners are central to the process, equipped with skills to provide meaningful, active support and to advocate for the birthing person’s needs.
"I kept moving on the bed, switching positions and had my legs and bum jiggled by Sam. The pushing phase I was able to feel the contractions with my own hands on my belly and breathe and push accordingly. I was so calm and relaxed, and he came out without any issues."
