"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!"
"... 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."
"I found it really manageable with all these techniques... 5 hours in and I instinctively wanted to change positions. I laid on my side on the bed with a peanut ball between my legs and on each contraction I internally rotated my top leg to open the lower half of my pelvis, allowing baby to move down."
"When the time came, I was given long sterile gloves and the drape was lowered after baby’s head was out. She made the tiniest little noise but did not cry. The lights were dimmed and I reached over and grabbed her under her arms and pulled her out to my chest."
I was induced as baby was measuring small for dates and had stopped growing.
We ended up having a really positive experience...
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!"
I was booked in to be induced on the 24th (my due date). My waters were broken and then had the syntocinon drip to bring on labour. The surges came on pretty quickly.
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.
