A positive long labour : I doubt I could have said that without having done hypnobirthing!

This email came for me today.

If you have been reading through other birth stories, you might start to see some common themes with Hypnobirths

• “Bub stayed calm the whole time”
• “Our midwife said she hadn’t seen a couple work so well together”
• “It was not exactly what we hoped for but I would still say we had a positive experience”.
• “Our 3.6kg bundle is so calm and settled.”

As a midwife, I know things can deviate from our “plans” but it doesn’t mean the experience can’t still be a positive one.

This is why I teach Hypnobirthing Australia programme, because it really does prepare couple to meet whatever turn their births take.

Hi Pip,

Just wanted to drop a line and let you know how much we appreciate what your hypnobirthing course did for us!

Emilia was born 1 week ago after 40+ hours of labour.

Bub stayed calm the whole time and even though I ended up having a few things not go quite as I would have liked.

We still managed a natural birth just as they were setting up the vacuum.

We showed them!

Our midwife said she hadn’t seen a couple work so well together throughout the whole journey as Chris and I did, and was very glad we pulled it off naturally in the end.

It was not exactly what we hoped for and I wanted to give up many times but I would still say we had a positive experience.

I doubt I could have said that without having done hypnobirthing!

Our 3.6kg bundle is so calm and settled and we have had a great week.

Thank you so much again x
