Birth Story by Emma, Hypnobirthing Mum
“We had a beautiful water birth without any interventions at GCUH…”
We’re pleased to announce that our precious little boy was welcomed into the world yesterday. He was 41+2days, 53cm long + 3.8kg of perfection!
We had a beautiful water birth without any interventions at GCUH & applied plenty of the strategies we learned through the hypnobirthing course!
Mark said the anchor touch & acupressure during contractions made the biggest impact for pain and relaxation for me & I appreciated the breathing techniques & birth comb; especially during the drive to the hospital when I had to manage surges on my own for nearly an hour thanks to Monday morning M1 traffic.
We felt empowered and respected in our choices; birthed the placenta naturally and we waited for white. We also took some of our bliss balls (using your recipe) for after snacks hehe. We were home after 6hours & are all doing well!
We are both so glad we did the Positively Hypnobirthing course with you and are incredibly grateful for your support during and after our sessions!
This course was exactly what we needed in the lead up to birth. Both my husband and I got so much out of it and left feeling confident about labour.
Kates communication was incredible and her thoughtfulness in the set up of the space (and snacks) made it such an enjoyable and comfortable experience.
She presented the content in a really down to earth, evidence-based way and we were empowered with knowledge and practical tools for both the lead up and during labour. We feel so much more prepared knowing about the options and choices we can make.
We would HIGHLY recommend this program to anyone on the Gold Coast looking to have a positive, natural birth!
