Positive Birth Stories
Reading other mum’s birth stories can be so very helpful when preparing for your own birth. What did they choose and why? How did they work with changes or problems? What worked and what did not? How did it affect the birth using Hypnobirthing skills? Most importantly though it allows you to see that birth can be a positive and life-affirming experience irrespective of the path that that birth took.
So, settle back, have a good read and enjoy.
Emily’s birth - A calm, unplanned caesarean.
When the medical staff told me on the day I was completely relaxed and thought, ‘that’s fine, this is how my baby is supposed to arrive’.
Laura’s Caesarean — birth with high blood pressure
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!
