Laura’s Caesarean — birth with high blood pressure

With the best will in the world sometimes some pregnancies and births will need a little extra help.

Induction of labour is a device by which your care-givers will aim to manage your labour. It is not always successful though so it pays to understand the process fully and also look into caesarean birth just in case your labour moves in that direction.

Perhaps this is your Birth Plan C, but it can still be a positive birth experience. We fear only that which we do not understand.

Laura uses her knowledge and hypnobirthing skills beautifully here.

Welcome to the world little Eliza…


I’m delighted to say that our little girl Eliza arrived safely on 22 June.

As you know, I was induced because of high blood pressure and we actually ended up with a c section because of a possible infection but it was all v calm and we were v well looked after so I look back on the whole experience positively.

I listened to my hypnobirthing tracks throughout the induction process and felt incredibly calm, including during the section. Your walkthrough of what to expect during a section was absolutely invaluable and I credit my calmness to having a good understanding of what was involved, so thank you!

Eliza is a little dream boat. Her birth weight was 6 pounds 13 but she’s already 7 pounds 5 - little pig! Breast feeding is going well and she’s sleeping pretty well so no complaints at all!

I’ll be pointing any pregnant friends in the direction of your classes - so useful.
