"Then everything changed: I went from three centimetres to eight in about an hour." Sarah's positive hypnobirthing birth story of navigating induction pressure and intense back labour to a calm, natural hospital birth at almost 42 weeks.
“We missed the whole hospital bit.” Brooke’s fast, empowering hypnobirthing home birth — no pain relief, and baby in her arms 40 minutes after her mucus plug came out.
"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."
"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."
"She was 4.570kg... I was in utter shock that I had just birthed an even bigger baby than my first and I didn’t have any tears and required no stitches... I wasn’t scared about birthing a big baby because I had so much faith in my body and knew if I’d done it once I could do it again."
"... pushed a big 9.2 lbs bub, the doctors were so doubtful of me being able to push him out myself, but I proved them wrong."
"At 6.40am, Makybe was born, 9.6pounds/4.35 kilograms! I got my delayed cord clamping & golden hour as requested too. It was the most empowering & healing birth, the complete opposite to my first birth & I am so happy I was well informed & trusted my gut instinct & body."
"He was a big boy measuring at 55cms long and 4520grams (9 pound 15oz) and I also had no tearing!"
"It is such an empowering feeling knowing what our bodies are capable of ... To our surprise, he weighed in at 10 pounds 3!! We couldn’t believe how big he was considering at our 20 week scan bub was measuring small!... I didn’t tear considering the size of bub!"
"If it wasn't for the education and empowerment we received from Kate through her hypnobirthing course, being lucky enough to be in the MGP program and having an amazing, supportive midwife who was a huge believer in hypnobirthing and natural birth, plus the support of Matt and the way he believed in me and supported me I don't know if our birth would have turned out the way it did."
