1st baby, labour ward (induction of labour/physiological birth) Due to my age of 42 and being a first time mother, my consultant was very keen for me to be induced at 40 weeks.  I had initially agreed to it at one of my first appointments with the midwifes without really knowing much about it.  In […]

1st baby, hospital birth (induction/physiological birth) Following Gemma’s excellent course, I was all ready for a natural, pool birth, but it was not meant to be. This is because our beautiful daughter decided to arrive nearly four weeks early. My waters broke unexpectedly on Saturday night. At this stage I could have panicked but instead […]

(2nd baby, induction/physiological birth) My partner and I arranged to attend Gemma’s workshop a couple of months before our second child was due. I had found my first birth traumatic and was scared that history would repeat itself. We decided we wanted to have more control and understanding this time round. I / we can […]

1st baby,  labour ward (physiological birth) We did Gemma’s hypnobirthing course via Skype in March 2020 and I went on to have one follow up one-to-one session afterwards. We both found the course really interesting and well delivered. My science-minded husband had been a bit sceptical about hypnobirthing but he really enjoyed the theory behind […]

1st baby, labour ward (preterm delivery at 27 weeks gestation/physiological birth) “I am still in awe of how things happened, of how calm and relaxed I kept “ “Oh, you must have been so stressed!!!” is the first thing we often hear (accompanied by a look of anguish and almost horror in their eyes) when […]

2nd baby,  labour ward (induction of labour/physiological birth) I can’t thank Gem enough and will be forever grateful that I came across her workshop, which allowed us to have the most wonderful birthing experience second time around, something I didn’t think could ever happen. With our first baby, we had a very traumatic and long […]

1st baby, (hospital/ physiological birth) ‘This euphoria after giving birth stayed with us for days.’ “My partner and I are first-time parents. In April 2020 we welcomed to the world our baby girl Zosia. Even though the pandemic changed my birth plan, I still had the most easy-going and relaxed birth experience. I was in […]
