Thank you for your care and attention during our HypnoBirthing classes.
I have always known I wanted a natural, drug free birth but my husband was more from the pro-drug school of thought. When I made the decision to do the HypnoBirthing classes, he was sceptical but supportive of my decision. We did the training with and I also saw an acupuncturist for pre-delivery treatments.
We had just finished watching a movie on a very normal Friday night and my water broke (with no prior contractions) and we went into action. My contractions were immediately 3 minutes apart and at one stage thought Aaron might have to deliver the baby. He was very calm & in control and knew exactly how to help me out due to our sessions with you. Having done the daily practice sessions, I kept calm and automatically did my breathing.
Because the contractions were so close together, we headed straight to hospital – we hadn’t made it to the doors when I knew it was time to start delivery. We managed to get upstairs to the birthing suite, still very calm and doing my breathing. When the midwives heard I’d only been in labour just over an hour, one chuckled and said something along the lines of “you’ll be at it a while yet”. She then checked my dilation and was very shocked to find the head ready to come out.
Our beautiful baby girl was born an hour later, alert, healthy and completely drug free. All up it was a 2 ½ hour labour and I was able to fully embrace the intense & awesome experience of child birth thanks to HypnoBirthing birthing. My husband is now a keen advocate for HypnoBirthing and is very glad we were able to share such a positive experience.
I have heard lots of other people’s birth experiences and have to say that doing HypnoBirthing was the best decision I could have made. Rather than it being a fearful, screaming horror story that I so often hear about, I knew to cope and was able to fully concentrate on working with my baby to have the best experience possible.
Our little girl is now 7 ½ months old and I know that when we have our second one, there is no doubt we’ll be using our HypnoBirthing techniques again.
I would strongly recommend any parents-to-be do the HypnoBirthing course, it will be one of the best decisions you make!
