HypnoBirthing® Hamilton
Jamie's Birthing
My previous birth was very medical with an induction,
epidural and episiotomy. I found the experience to be intrusive, traumatizing and when my baby was born, I
carried little positive emotion from the experience. With the help of
Lara from HypnoBirthing Hamilton, my second birth was very different! Our baby girl, Chloe, was delivered
without any intervention. This natural experience was VERY relaxing. I had my baby in hospital and, upon arrival, the staff didn't believe I
was in very active labour. It was quite peaceful, calming, relaxing
and breathing the baby down was a wonderful experience. When Chloe was
born, I cried tears of happiness. There was lots of emotion and I felt
like a woman. She latched immediately and breastfeeding has been an
enjoyable experience. What made this experience so great was the
readying Lara provided me. It was very informative and truly made me
believe that women are designed to labour peacefully. I found listening to the Rainbow Relaxation track during my labour to be very
beneficial. It helped to keep me in such a deep state of calm and
focus. Lara also worked with me to find out what things were important
to me to make my delivery a positive experience and she encouraged me to share
this information with my midwife. My midwife embraced the concept of HypnoBirthing and followed through with my requests. My husband was
included at all times in the HypnoBirthing experience and teachings and
he had an active role during labour & delivery. He didn't have
that 'useless' feeling that he had had with the birth of our previous
child.
