"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."
"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! "
"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!"
"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."
"13 hours of completely natural and unmedicated labour our beautiful girl was born just before 6am... I was absolutely euphoric holding our beautiful baby we had been eagerly awaiting. It was truly the birth of my dreams."
