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.

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!)
