HypnoBirthing® Stories
The birth was amazing and exactly how I wanted it. I was very quiet and kind of
in
a trance for most of it. I didn't tear or need any stitches at all. My husband
was
wonderful and is proclaiming the wonders of HypnoBirthing® to everyone he
meets I don't think he can really believe I was that calm and quiet throughout
the
whole thing.. Even the midwife said she couldn't tell when I was having a
ontraction so asked could I please signal to her to time the monitoring it was
all
so perfect.

My eleven pound daughter was born at home after only an hour in labour, I didn’t need any pain relief at all and I didn’t need any stitches either, it was a wonderful experience. HypnoBirthing® is simply amazing.

The main thing that kept me calm was my HypnoBirthing® recording it really
came into its own. My hospital notes record the whole labour as 50 minutes; I'm
still amazed by it all and couldn't have wished for a better experience.

Without a doubt HypnoBirthing® radically transformed my attitudes,
expectations and therefore experience of birth. I like to think the fact that we
had such an easy calm, short, drug free birth is at least partly why our little
girl
seems such a peaceful contended baby eating and sleeping like a trooper,
and so quick to be comforted on the rare occasion she starts crying. I won't get
tired of thanking you!.

“We had our baby boy. The birth was at home and took around 7 hours, no pain
relief. The HypnoBirthing® course really helped, mainly the breathing, the
relaxing and ‘going with it’ attitude and also having seen all those videos of
births, we knew everything that was happening was totally normal”.

I had my daughter after only five
hours of labour, giving birth totally naturally and without any pain
relief, in an inflatable pool at home with my husband. I used my
hypnobirthing techniques throughout the first stage of labour, and found
it immensely helpful - not only for pain relief, but also in terms of
feeling prepared for the birth and looking forward to the event with
positive anticipation.
When my labour began in earnest I had the relaxation music playing, and
found the balloon visualisation invaluable in giving me something to
focus on. It was also lovely for my husband to have a defined role, and
we both felt that we were really experiencing the labour together.
By the time I went into the second stage I was already in the pool, and
despite my previous concerns that I would not know when this stage was
beginning, it was immediately obvious from one contraction to the next
that things had changed, and I could not help but to push. I didn't use
the 'breathing down' technique at this stage, as my far more urgent
primal
instincts took over!
I continued to use the hynpobirthing techniques after the birth, as I
found the rainbow relaxation very useful in getting me off to sleep when
my mind was full of thoughts and the excitement of having a new baby. I
have also never found it easy to nap during the day, and this helped me
to achieve a daytime rest - even if I didn't go to sleep I felt relaxed
and refreshed, and more ready to cope with the evening ahead.
I hope this is helpful for you, I 'd better get on, as a certain young
lady is calling!
All the best, Chloe - Bath

It was amazing and COMPLETELY different from my first birth (not a HB birth). I listened to the Affirmations every day. When the surges started, I listened to the Rainbow Relaxation all the time, even en route to the hospital. The breathing was fantastic - in 20, out 20, and up with the surge. All was very calm and I stayed at home for a long time. My husband used all the right language, and the Fear Release helped so much. Things moved along quickly at the end, I had only one sniff of gas and air and in 10 minutes my daughter Bonnie was born. I did not have an episiotomy, thanks to perineal massage, and felt so much better afterward.

Just to let you know
that our daughter Amelia arrived on Tuesday 11 October at 9.07pm after a
2hr 45min labour. She weighed 7lb 4oz. (She has already put on 5oz in
the first week as she feeds so well!)
Your hypnobirthing course was invaluable in allowing me to keep calm
throughout. The experience of being there to see her birth was just
magical for us both and we enjoyed a relaxing time afterwards drinking
tea and eating toast, bonding with the baby.
Your techniques for clearing away all the negative images of our
previous birth were so effective that nearing the due date I ended up
reassuring my husband that everything would be alright as opposed to him
having to comfort me! The imagery replaced all the negative images of
the previous birth and just visualizing this helped enormously.
Thank you so much, Liz & Kelvin - Salisbury
