Relaxed confident birth of Coco, second baby

Birth Stories

Thank you Marilyn for being such a positive and inspiring part of our birth journey for Coco.  

I had a good birth with my first daughter 7 years ago, but it did seem a long time ago… I was gifted the HypnoBirthing book whilst pregnant this time and after reading it I actively searched out a practitioner as we were both excited by the prospect of ‘pain free birth’, and whatever else HypnoBirthing had to offer.

Now on the other side of birth I look back and realise there is so much more to birthing than pain management. The HypnoBirthing course allowed us to develop confidence in my ability to let my body lead, connection between my husband and I, our baby and our existing daughter, confidence in dealing with our medical support, excitement about the process and a relaxed and centred approach to Coco’s arrival.  

Witnessing other births throughout the course allowed us to see directly what was possible and also how varied it might be, something we both commented on was the ‘alertness’ and ‘calmness’ of the mums directly after their births, happily this was definitely the case for me too.  While after my first birth I was quite ‘out of myself’ for some time, this time round, the moment she appeared I felt fantastic, alert, happy and excited.

While our birthing experience was not the same as any we watched (just as they were different from each other), and I can’t claim to have been the silent type, or to not have had moments of wondering how I was going to get to the next step, we both feel very strongly that HypnoBirthing prepared us for what was an extraordinary experience enjoyed by our whole family.

To hear our 7 year old describe seeing her sisters arrival as ‘amazing’ to her friends and relatives, still gives me goose-bumps. Remembering her in the bath with me both at home and at the hospital, rubbing my back, breathing with me and chanting (we hadn’t rehearsed any of that, she was following her intuition) is something I will remember forever.  Attending a couple of HypnoBirthing classes with us, certainly allowed her to feel involved and engaged, so a special thank you for making her so welcome too.

Both my husband and I will be recommending the program (I have heard him telling anyone who will listen what a ‘must do’ it is!) He felt so much more a part of the process this time, and I knew more than ever that he was right there with me.  So thank you again.
