Georgia’s 2nd Natural, Drug Free / No Interventions Hypnobirth

"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."

Kate’s Empowered Hypnobirth Story

"I moved to a standing position with the bed raised so that I could flop and let go between each surge. I had no control over the pushing, my body was doing all of the work instinctively and I just needed to go with it."

The Hypnobirth of Rahnee – A Positive Induction Story

I was induced at 42 weeks as I had early labour on and off for 4 days beforehand that wouldn't turn into actual labour.
Our birth started on the 14th Feb where I had 2 lots of gels in the afternoon/night. I had intense contractions (aka surges) all night (and got no sleep) but Ven set up our room with nice candles and I just listened to my calming music and hypnobirthing tracks, focusing on my breathing all night and taking the surges one at a time.
