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.

Caroline's home birth: post-dates birth
Our son Phoenix was born at home the week before Christmas. As preparation for the birth, I did a hypnobirthing class and one free antenatal class, but we opted to not do all the antenatal classes that everyone seems to do. We wanted a home birth and felt that the hypnobirthing would be the most useful for us. I also did pregnancy yoga and read a small number of books
Kristie’s first home birth - a wonderful water birth.
A long time has passed since our course with you in September but I just wanted to let you know that Harley-Beau arrived safely on 15th November 2017 weighing 7lbs 4oz.
For a first time labour it was relatively quick - 9 hours, and my hypnobirthing techniques really helped me manage emotionally and physically for the majority of the labour. He was born at home, in a Birth pool and he was born in his membranes (and I had no tears!! Which I was most scared of!)
