“I realised now there was no leaving, that window had passed. I couldn't talk and I couldn't hold her any longer. The safest thing was to keep going. My body was doing what it was designed to do and it was doing a great job!”
"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."
"I felt empowered and educated and in control (mostly haha) and having Tristan equipped with the tools he needed to get me through was invaluable..."
My waters broke spontaneously at 12:30am Sunday morning. It was just like in the movies, gushed all over the toilet floor
We went into our birth feeling super excited and prepared. As our birth deviated from our plan bit by bit, Sam was a wonderful birth partner and helped keep me calm. He could not of been more helpful and that comes down to what he learnt on your course! So we're very thankful!"
"With continual inhales of clary sage and being on the toilet, things picked up super quick, Nina within the hour would be there. Lisa told me to feel, as I would feel Nina's head bearing down, doing this gave me the extra strength I needed..."
"From a moment that I had feared my whole life & even said I would try for a planned c section when I was younger to change into the most incredible & magical experience of my life is so amazing! ?
"It was such an intense and unexpected experience, and was the best we could possibly have asked for. I can just see Brett sitting Madeline down on the family's sacred birth rug every 31st December and telling her the story of how she came to be."
Our baby girl arrived on New Years Eve in a very rapid fashion.
I was approximately 10 days overdue and there was pressure coming from my OB to do an induction, however this was something I strongly was against and knew that our little man was happy and healthy and was coming when he was ready...
We had a New Year’s surprise… our little hypno bub came early ? Meet Lenny Thomas McGilvray born 2/1/21. 3.3kg all happy and healthy ?
It wasn’t the birth that we had planned, but took everything on board and made it very positive.
Baby Oscar was born on 14 November and I was able to have the drug free vaginal birth I wanted.
Breathing definitely helped in the first part of birthing and I used the tracks and affirmations to help.
