About the trainer
During my first pregnancy, I read a hypnobirthing book, took a parenting course and assumed I was all set. The pregnancy was smooth and we had all the information in our heads. Surely that was enough, right?
By week 42, there was no sign of baby coming, so I was induced. I tried to put the theory I’d learnt into practice. All the breathing I’d learnt from books, the yogic postures….one of it worked. My baby was born 4 days later thanks to an episiotomy and ventose. It left me feeling disappointed, shock, physically exhausted, mentally drained, with fever and an infection.
So, when I got pregnant a second time, I knew a positive birth experience was possible. I completely changed my approach.
The result was a powerful homebirth, where my body took over, knowing what to do instinctively at each point in the labour. The months of hypnobirthing practice resulted in my body being able to produce the most powerful painkillers that resulted in me dozing off in between contractions, relieving the pain.
The moment my baby was born, I saw planets, stars and felt like I travelled across the universe.
This second birth was a transformative, beautiful experience.
It left me feeling invincible. I had a new sense of empowerment, that meant that if I could do this, I could do anything else.
Want some of that?
I am now pregnant with twins, aware there is a chance of a C-section, and am in no-doubt preparing for this special birth using hypnobirthing!
