Early Arrival of Hypnobub Billy
This hypno mum and partner recently brought their baby boy into the world unexpectedly, at only 32 weeks. Birth is so unpredictable, but they so brilliantly navigated their birth using techniques to stay focused and excepted the turn their birthing took. I thank them for sharing their experience…
Yolonda’s Positive Induction
Our birth was completely opposite to what we had imagined. But hypnobirthing gave us the confidence and knowledge to make the right decisions for ourselves. We ended up getting induced due to being over due 41 +3 days, as well as elevated blood pressure. We tried everything we could from 40 to 41 + 3…
Asher Arrives Under the Stars at Home
On Wednesday 26th February 2020, 13 days from the due date of our sixth child, I felt our little boy was going to join us very soon. Our other children had all arrived quite close to their due dates (our third daughter was earliest, being five days before), so I had almost relied on this knowledge being…
Kamal’s VBAC Story – Accidental Home Birth
After months of preparing, gaining knowledge and advocating for the birth I wanted, my little bundle of joy was born exactly on his expected due date. As a second time mum, I was feeling more empowered and informed of my choices and felt more confident with the extra preparation I had done e.g., hypnobirthing…
The Hypnobirth of Rahnee – A Positive Induction Story
I was induced at 42 weeks as I had early labour on and off for 4 days beforehand that wouldn’t turn into actual labour.
Our birth started on the 14th Feb where I had 2 lots of gels in the afternoon/night. I had intense contractions (aka surges) all night (and got no sleep) but Ven set up our room with…
Judy’s Positive Hypnobirth
We couldn’t have done it without this course and it not only prepared me mentally, but also my support people and completely changed our mindset about birthing.
The extra 45mins that gave Kristy the birth she wanted
I had been having on and off mild surges for a few days, so when I woke just before 6 in the morning with a different feeling surge and instinctively knowing it was the start of my labor. I hadn’t had the best sleep the night before with such tightness, so I knew I needed to go back to bed, get some…
Sam’s Unplanned Home Birth
So many people have asked as we had an unplanned home birth how it all happened, so I thought rather then repeat the story I’d share a brief version for everyone to have a little insight into the best day of our lives.
Leading into Evie’s birth I wanted to be as prepared and organised as I could…
Kara’s Amazing Hypnobirth with Her Beautiful 4.8kg Baby
This was Kara and Anthony’s 2nd baby. Kara was induced for her 1st birth and there was cascade of interventions that she was hoping to avoid for her 2nd birth, so they came to Positively Hypnobirthing to do the Hypnobirthing Australia™ course. They did such an amazing job at coping with pressures…
Lara’s Calm, Positive, Drug-Free Hypnobirth
How many women tell you that they had an amazing birth? We’re overwhelmed with horror stories the moment you announce your pregnancy to the world, and it’s no wonder women are turning to birthing methods that help minimise the pain of labour. When you’re continually told that it is the hardest…
My Accidental Unassisted Breech Homebirth
I never imagined I would have a breech baby; let alone have the confidence to birth him naturally; and furthermore birth him unexpectedly at home with only my husband present to catch our baby boy. I will forever be grateful for hypnobirthing which helped me through the stress of all the hospital visits…
The Unsung Hero of Birth – The Birth Partner
Helping expecting mothers feel confident, positive and empowered about the birth of their baby is a huge part of why I teach hypnobirthing. This confidence is enhanced by having a birthing companion who is a great support through the experience and it is these unsung heroes, which I wanted to talk a…
