BIRTH STORIES

Grateful Mother Thanks HypnoBirthing® for the Birth of Nixon

Nixon, born at Buderim Hospital on 27 November 2013

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have been meaning to text you to tell you we had a 7 lb 4 oz baby boy Nixon Oliver last Wednesday at 2.37pm, and well, I still haven’t come off a high!

My HypnoBirth was exactly the same as the movies you showed us, absolutely an amazing experience.

I started having light surges at 7.30am, so I finished packing my bags and had a lovely breakfast at home with Grant and little Marli, then went in the lounge room to get on my fit ball and put on the rainbow relaxation CD.

Before I knew it, it was 1.45pm and I felt that it was time to go to the hospital. We arrived at 2pm and went straight into the birthing room where my waters broke and I was ready to push straight away. We had a couple of moments where Grant had to try and have some polite discussions with one of the staff members to make them leave me alone. He insisted to them that I get in the bath with the CD on and 4 surges later little Nixon was born, so straight forward and exactly as I had visualised my birth, no stitches and one week on I feel well recovered and Nixon is as cruisy as can be. One of the 2 midwives that I had was fantastic and completely happy to follow the HypnoBirthing® Mongan Method.

It was truly amazing and beautiful. Thank you so much. Susie.
