Birth stories you need to hear...

'Our son was born
unexpectedly,
at 27 weeks of pregnancy, I am
still in awe of how things happened, of how calm and relaxed I kept. We honestly couldn’t have done things the way we did them without practising Hypnobirthing
and without Gemma.'
Marcela

These very personal birth stories are all very different; from home to hospital births, water births to emergency caesarean birth. This is because, by its very nature, birth is unpredictable. It is important that you focus on the birth you want whilst also being prepared for anything that can happen on the day.

But… these stories are ALL positive! Even when things didn’t ‘go to plan’. With the right birth education and preparation, you CAN have a positive birth, regardless of how or where you give birth. So, like the couples from these birth stories, don’t leave your positive birth to chance!

I love using my knowledge as a practising Midwife and my personal experience of using and also teaching Hypnobirthing to help women and their birth partners increase their chance of a natural, positive birth. The families below invested in their birth and prepared for all eventualities to transform their birth experience, whatever the circumstances. It paid off!
