Birth Story by Izabela, Hypnobirthing Mum
“I kept moving on the bed, switching positions and had my legs and bum jiggled by Sam. The pushing phase I was able to feel the contractions with my own hands on my belly and breathe and push accordingly. I was so calm and relaxed, and he came out without any issues.“
I’m happy to announce the birth of my son, Harvey on 13.09.2024 at 3pm, weighting 3.465 kg.
Overall a positive birth experience. The hypnoborthing preparation with daily meditations and positive affirmations leading up to labour put me in the best mood and frame of mind – I was totally unafraid of labour and when I lost my mucus plug the day prior and the contractions started, I was ecstatic. I reached a moment in labour where I lost my ability to relax with the surges and instead my whole body was tensing with each one, and so I made a decision for an epidural. I kept moving on the bed, switching positions and had my legs and bum jiggled by Sam (a technique learnt in the course to relax the pelvic floor and make more space for baby to move down through the pelvis). The pushing phase I was able to feel the contractions with my own hands on my belly and breathe and push accordingly. I was so calm and relaxed, and he came out without any issues. Then we had the loveliest undisturbed 2hrs skin to skin in the dark room on the bed. I’m very happy with my birth experience and I thank you for your essential role in making it happen.
