Jess’ Empowered Hypnobirth with Interventions
"I managed to get two towels rolled up to put under me to make room for my tail bone. Our beautiful baby girl was pushed out in 36 minutes, coming in at 3.6kg and 54cm long and I had no tearing."


"I managed to get two towels rolled up to put under me to make room for my tail bone. Our beautiful baby girl was pushed out in 36 minutes, coming in at 3.6kg and 54cm long and I had no tearing."

"... our baby arrived in the car at the hospital entrance 7.40am! I only started labour a bit before 4am.. a total of no more than 4hours, still can't believe how quick it all happened... Women need to hear / share more positive stories so that future mums don't have to fear this journey."

"We’re pleased to announce that our precious little boy was welcomed into the world yesterday. He was 41+2days, 53cm long + 3.8kg of perfection! We had a beautiful water birth without any interventions at GCUH & applied plenty of the strategies we learned through the hypnobirthing course! "

"After our chat, I did all the things we discussed. Then late that afternoon on the drive to hospital for a check (due to my waters releasing 2 days earlier), I started getting cramps. Finally… I thought."

"Hey Kate! We just wanted to let you know Jake and I welcomed our little man on Monday 25th March. We just wanted to thank you - it was a gruelling 60 hour labour with 3 surges every 10 minutes (my body didn’t dilate at the ‘regular’ pace)..."

"I pulled our beautiful baby out and onto my chest from the water at 5.27am. It was truly an incredible experience... People told me there was no way to prepare for what child birth would offer, and that anything I had practiced and learned would quickly go out the window. This could not be further from the truth!"

"The surges are big and back-to-back. All I can do is focus on reaching their peak. My mind was very much in athletic mode. The mantra was ingrained - these were natural sensations caused by my muscles working hard. I told myself at the end of each surge, I can do that again."

"They asked if I wanted gas and I declined. Soon they asked about the oxytocin injection to deliver the placenta to which we also declined and I reminded Phil of our birth preferences to give to them. It was all happening so fast we’d forgotten!"

"My body was instinctively doing what it needed to do. I don’t think the midwives really realised how close I was to birth as about 20mins later my little babe popped out into the bath..."

"There he was, our son Leo Mattheus, suddenly, on my belly. My belly that held him, my belly that connected us for all of these months. He was finally here, on the other side - earth side. His beautiful open eyes that had just met mine, his incredible vernix spread all over his beautiful, healthy, long, 10 pound body."
