Birth Reports

“ I just wanted to take the time to thank you for your wonderful course, and let you know that hypnobirthing transformed an apprehensive experience into one that my husband and I will treasure for the rest of our lives. Our baby girl was born on the 15th of March at St Marys birthing centre 3 hours after checking in- what was the point really?! I had a slow and steady pre labour over a 24 hour period, of which I used your relaxation techniques and visualisations, and did a lot of walking,...

“Our son (first baby) was born in the birthpool at home on the 19th June 14.41 in the afternoon, weighting 8lb 6oz. It was the most amazing empowering experience I could have wished for, and he is a very happy healthy contented baby! We are so happy we did the Hypnobirthing: it turned what is for so many woman a traumatic experience into something so wonderful.  Here is a short(ish) account: I had a show just after midnight and mild surges (like menstrual cramps) started soon after. We...

“Our baby was born at home on Fri 21st March. 7lb, 3.5oz. Official labour was 12.5hrs.  We had hired an independent midwife and had planned to go into hospital but after a slightly odd reception when we called to say we were coming in, we decided to stay at home.  It was actually a very quiet day with my husband occasionally whispering to the midwife with a request for her drinks order!  The hypnobirthing breathing, visualisations and music I found really helpful and the gas...

“Thanks to your hypnobirthing course, the birth of my darling daughter was a wonderful experience.  Your workshop gave us the confidence to plan a home birth and we learnt so much on the workshop that I felt well prepared for all eventualities. I was unfortunate to have 3 days of regular mild contractions that would normally exhaust any expectant mother, but I managed to remain calm and unfazed throughout, listening to the hypnobirthing CD regularly, particularly at night to help me sleep.

“I just thought I would send a quick note and tell you about the birth of our baby boy. He came to us on the 30th March, 2 weeks early, weighing 3.7kg and measuring 54cm! We had an amazing birthing experience. My waters broke at 4.30am on Sunday morning of the 30th of March. We went to hospital at the recommendation of our midwife who did all the routine checks and sent us home to wait for further developments. My surges started at 2.30pm and he was born at 6pm the same evening, so all in a...

“Thank you so much for all the help you gave me during the course it all really helped. I had a lovely baby boy on 23rd October. It was a very swift and calm birth. It all kicked off on Friday (22nd) night where I was feeling some mild surges. I thought it was false labour as I had experienced it before. By Saturday morning I knew it was the real thing and I went into hospital that morning. They sent me back home as I was barely dilated.

“We thought that you would like to know that we had a beautiful baby girl 2 weeks ago!  She decided to arrive on her due date (can you believe it!) on the 12 February at 10.15am. We had a very good labour and she was born naturally at Kingston Hospital without the need for anything more than gas and air and the amazing support of my husband, without whom there is no way I would have had the strength and belief to get through without pain relief. I had some “twinges” at...
