Some kind words …

Our little son was born @ 11.34pm.22.2.12

 We  welcomed our little son into the world with a very beautiful (and very quick) labour and delivery. He was born at 11.34 pm on the 22nd  February, after a 5 hour labour weighing 6lbs 13oz.  The Midwife Hannah and HCA Sheila were fantastic……we couldn’t have asked for better.

Our little boy was alert and after a little cry was so contented. The first few days were a beautiful haze of getting to know each other. 
Heather, Hannah and Sheila all said it was the nicest delivery they had attended and Hannah wants to do it herself when she has children. I am so pleased to be part of this movement!

Annie, we cannot thank you enough. The luckiest thing that has happened was meeting you and being able to do the course…….I don’t know what made your fingers work quicker than your head that day that you agreed to run the course but I am very thankful!

We look forward to seeing you again and showing you our pride and joy.

With overwhelming thanks,

Kate and  Graeme  x

“Our Pride and Joy”

Lots and lots of contented happy babies, and relaxed mamas and papas.

That’s what I saw when we had our HypnoBirthing coffee morning.

And Ursula who came to help sent me this kind e.mail ;

WOW,  love your blog.  you are soooo good at writing blogs. Thank you for mentioning me and my website, very kind of you, but I am sure I do not deserve such an accolade. The mamas do, they certainly had confidence and relaxation all wrapped up, and as for all those cute contented babies breast feeding away happily, it speaks volumes about the midwife and mentor who taught them!! Fantastic xxx

Thank you – all I do is set the scene. It’s all the mamas and papas who deserve the praise. And the stars of the day – why it’s the babies of course! Aaaahhhhhh!!!

Horizontal HypnoBirthing Babies!!!

 I gave birth to a beautiful Hypnobirthing baby boy on Tuesday 10th January at 2.59pm. We have called him Isaac William Jones and he was 8lbs 1oz.  Levin put on the music and the scene was set. We had photos of Eva plastering the dining room walls, fairy lights, flowers, a big red balloon and of course the blossoming rose on the wall !! Levin got straight to work on the light touch massage and the birthing prompts. The Midwives were in awe of us both and the way we coped with the labour and said that I was incredibly calm. Altogether, the experience was just as I had hoped thanks to your Hypnobirthing sessions so thank-you VERY VERY much for everything you taught us! I would recommend Hypnobirthing to any mother-to-be. I would also recommend a home water birth.

 

love

Isaac – our beautiful HypnoBirthing baby!

Laughter is good!

 Just thought we’d drop you a line to let you know how we got on with our birth, and to say a massive thank you for the help you gave us.
 William was born last Wednesday, November 23, 9lb 4oz, 13 days overdue!

 I was booked in for an induction on the day he came along, but did it all myself in the end with no intervention at all – just with help from Tom and the hypnobirthing techniques you taught us.
 
 The midwife who attended (who was brilliant and dimmed the lights,

 used the correct words and just let us get on with it) said it was the calmest birth

 she had ever seen and would be reading up on hypnobirthing and would

 be recommending it to couples in the future. Tom was able to stay with

 us for more than three hours afterwards, it was lovely.
 
Lots of love

“Having been a practising midwife for 18 years my experience went to a whole new level when I was fortunate enough to care for Laura. To witness the birth of Max was a beautiful journey, to observe a woman so instinctive and in touch with her body was refreshing and amazing. I truly witnessed a woman who trusted her body, and allowed the most gentle and natural birth of her child. If only more  women had the opportunity to undertake hypnobirthing I’m sure there would be less intervention. It was amazing – I did very little just observed a truly amazing moment.”
