Comfortable Birth

Antenatal Hypnobirthing^® classes and postnatal workshops are now available in the Cambridge City area!

``Hypnobirthing really, really helped. The only mention of pain relief was when they said I was doing really well without it. We were all done and dusted in five and a half hours from start to finish.''
Catherine, a recent Comfortable Birth HypnoBirthing Mum
from Cambridge

"I found the course really beneficial because it meant that I wasn't surprised by what happened as the labour progressed and I felt like a useful member of the birthing team"

I was in pre-labour for three days at home. Surges kept building up to four minutes apart then falling back to every 10-20 minutes. We used HypnoBirthing throughout the three days and it was wonderful. I didn't need the TENs machine or anything. By day four the community midwife said there must be a complication as I was stuck at 4cm and irregular surges, also I was pretty tired from three nights disrupted sleep. So reluctantly we went to the Rosie but I have to say the HypnoBirthing again was brilliant as it kept me focussed and positive in my outlook. We used the birthing pool there for most of the day. I got to 6cm but the surges were still irregular. Exhausted the midwife suggested some syntocinon might kick start the birth. I agree but opted for a mobile epidural as my energy was low. The breathing and visualisations kept me calm and relaxed and William came out!

Ruby came 11 days late. I was in hospital due to be induced but she came naturally while on the ward. My waters broke at 4am on Wed night and Ruby was born at 11.40 on Thursday morning 25th Oct. I only had paracetamol and gas and air and I had a really good birth. Alistair read your fear release script when we went up to the delivery ward and I had Ruby over a birthing ball....I only got on the bed once so they could check how far I was dilated and I definitely didn't want to stay there! I had the relaxing music playing throughout. Alistair was brilliant and he kept saying affirmations like 'trust your body' etc. and breathe. So I want to thank you very much for the course as it definitely made a difference and I had a really positive labour.

Unique to my HypnoBirthing classes I share with you clips from my daughter's hypnobirth. I use this as an aid to demonstrate the different HypnoBirthing breathing techniques. The positive images help replace any negative images of birth you may have. You can see how perfectly calm I was in labour, smiling throughout. I hope this inspires you as it has already inspired several Mums-to-be.

Truth:

Birth does not need to be painful.

Birth should rarely be treated as a medical event.

If you would like a natural birth then you could benefit from using proven techniques to help you relax and take control of your birth. The ability to stay truly calm often reduces the time spent in labour since your body is able to work most effectively. Learning to trust your body and relax your mind, the birth has every chance of progressing well and the baby can have the optimum start in life.
