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.
Ivy-Mae's positive hypnobirth.
Whilst in the bath the surges started to get stronger and closer together. My partner downloaded a tracking app and started to track them. I got out the bath at about 5:30am and went and sat on the yoga ball. I was still very calm and singing along to my surges.
Charlotte's second positive home birth using hypnobirthing
In the end everything happened very quickly but calmly. I felt my first surge around 11pm and after relaxing on my ball and concentrating on my breathing, I let my husband Tom know and asked him to prepare our living room.
Zoe's birth of Isabelle - The Comfort of spending as much time labouring at home as possible.
After having period like pain on and off since the previous Saturday 16th and increased Braxton Hicks contractions, real surges started around 10pm on Sunday night. I was in bed and tried to carry on sleeping to get some rest. By 1am surges were too strong and I had to move around. Scott joined me in the lounge and I started using a tens machine.
