Positive birth stories from couples who’ve done my Hypnobirthing & Antenatal Course.

There’s lots of different stories and each one is unique - as each birth is unique. That’s because I truly believe ALL types of births can benefit from using hypnobirthing and the knowledge and brilliant tools and techniques I will show you. It is not just for a certain type of birth or type of person, hypnobirthing is really honestly for anyone who wants and more confident and positive birth experience.

Plus reading positive birth stories is so beneficial in pregnancy (you’ll learn more about this on the course). So take a read of these wonderful positive Hypnobirthing Birth Stories, I’ve included lots of different ones (home birth, hospital birth, caesarean birth, VBAC, induction and more). All are unique of course, but all of them share positivity, confidence and choice - which is what hypnobirthing is all about. And of course if you would like to share your story after your own birth please do get in touch. (NB. I always change all names in the stories for anonymity)

Birth Stories

E’s Positive Birth Story: Hypnobirthing with a Ventouse & Episiotomy

Hypnobirthing is for all types of birth, and all eventualities. This is a story of a positive assisted birth with ventous and an episiotomy that felt positive and empowering (despite not being a first choice!)

Homebirth in the bath (unintended!)

An amazingly powerful birth story, unintentionally at home, in the bath without a midwife! Especially amazing for a first time mother too. A great reminder that without fear your body can do amazing things!

“All in all I just wanted to say thank you and share my story with you, I couldn't have done it without doing the course and having the knowledge that it gave me. I also wasn't surprised or scared when he came out en caul as I knew about it already even though it is pretty rare!” S

Homebirth for a first baby

I enjoyed reading as many really positive birth stories as I could during pregnancy so I felt I ought to share this with you all. It IS possible to have a wonderful birth. We were very lucky that everything was plain sailing and we had no complications but I have to say ladies, if you have no complications or high risks, fight for your homebirth (if that’s what you want) and ignore everyone else’s negative comments, they haven’t got a clue. If I had listened to the (literally) hundreds of people tell me how stupid and naive I was, it would have been a completely different story.

A VBAC (Vagial Birth After Caesarean) Hypnobirthing Birth Story

Still, four weeks on, I can’t quite believe that Finley is here, safe and well! Having had a planned c-section with my first child due to her being breech, I had my heart set on a VBAC with my son, and that’s why I turned to hypnobirthing. I wanted to feel confident that I could birth naturally, as I had lost my confidence the first time round and I felt that any control had been taken off me. I was feeling nervous and so I wanted some tips and practical things to help me relax and trust my body. And I am so glad that we signed up for the course with you.

A first time birth story - super positive experience!

I went to the hospital triage as labour had not started. I declined any pain relief for the mild period like pains and I joked about having a high pain threshold. She said it worried her when people say this 'they are the ones that come in 10cm dilated!'

An empowered hospital birth. How hypnobirthing transformed my first pregnancy and birth.

I have been deliberating how my birth could have gone without the guidance that I received from you during the hypnobirthing course. I feel my birthing experience would have been quite different. Navigating a medical system, and being clear on our preferences, trusting my instincts was a key to this.

An Unplanned Caesarean Birth, But A Positive Birth

Absolutely nothing went to plan (sigh), but thanks to hypnobirthing I remained mostly calm (my husband may disagree with that, but I felt calm!) and whilst it wasn’t ‘perfect,’ as I hold my son, it was definitely positive.

Twists & Turns Hypnobirthing Birth Story

My babies journey into the big wide world started when I was taken into a delivery room with two lovely midwives who had read my birth preferences and said they would do all they could to help me achieve them.

A brilliant first birth story using hypnobirthing

A first birth that took so much from the course with Susan, to have a birth that we feel is ours together. This is the story of a hospital birth, and a water birth and how movement can help to move labour along.

A Positive Induction Hypnobirthng Birth Story

After four years of wanting and hoping we had given up hope of ever having our own baby and thought we would adopt. We were ecstatic. We had also just booked a fabulous holiday in South America. Well we still went on holiday, even the wine tasting in Argentina where I watch my husband guzzle my share of the wine – I was by then nearly five months pregnant.
