"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 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."
"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! "
"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!"
