Izabela’s Positive Hypnobirth with Epidural

Jess’ Empowered, Tear-Free Hypnobirth Through Interventions

Rebekah’s Quick Accidental Car Hypnobirth
“… our baby arrived in the car at the hospital entrance 7.40am! I only started labour a bit before 4am.. a total of no more than 4hours, still can’t believe how quick it all happened… Women need to hear / share more positive stories so that future mums don’t have to fear this journey.”

Laura’s Natural Water Birth at the Birth Centre
“I pulled our beautiful baby out and onto my chest from the water at 5.27am. It was truly an incredible experience… People told me there was no way to prepare for what child birth would offer, and that anything I had practiced and learned would quickly go out the window. This could not be further from…
Lauren’s 2nd undisturbed home hypnobirth
“The surges are big and back-to-back. All I can do is focus on reaching their peak. My mind was very much in athletic mode. The mantra was ingrained – these were natural sensations caused by my muscles working hard. I told myself at the end of each surge, I can do that again.”
Emily’s IVF Natural Hospital Hypnobirth with No Pain Relief
“They asked if I wanted gas and I declined. Soon they asked about the oxytocin injection to deliver the placenta to which we also declined and I reminded Phil of our birth preferences to give to them. It was all happening so fast we’d forgotten!”
Kate’s Natural, No Tearing 2nd Hypno Water Birth
