Stina was great she educated us why HypnoBirthing worked and logically took us through what a woman’s body should do naturally.We had started our prenatal classes with the hospital when I suddenly realized there was no easy way to have our baby. I think stupidly I had always thought a caesarean was an easier option once educated I was scared! We needed assistance then a woman from work told me about her experience with HypnoBirthing. We had 6 weeks until our baby was due when we started with Stina; we knew it was going to be intensive learning program although our doctor was confident I would go over the due date.
We had only half the sessions with Stina when our son came 4 weeks early, funnily enough on our last prenatal class – the boy has timing, as we didn’t leave the hospital! As this was my first child and me choosing to have a child later in life it was game on from 8.50pm when my water broke to 4.07am the next day when our beautiful son Jyles arrived. I was able to deliver drug free in just less than 7.5 hours. The breathing technique assisted greatly, the nurses were surprised that I was 3.5cm dilated around 11pm when the Doctor was called. One nurse said that I couldn’t be in labour as I was quiet – she later came back calling me a quiet achiever!
My husband was fantastic he prompted and assisted me as Stina had taught him. My only trouble was a delay within the second phase of birth – getting the baby out! We hadn’t covered this within our studies although after discussing the outcome with Stina I am now confident that the whole labour could have been medically unassisted.
I would recommend HypnoBirthing to anyone and hopefully we get to finish our course if lucky enough to have a second child! Thanks again Stina
