The Birth of Harriet Banks

Not once did I feel ‘pain’, scared, or out of control. I felt so calm and was able to laugh and talk between surges with Josh and our midwife.

I had no sense of time and just went with my body and surrendered to the sensations. I utilised the shower and Josh did the light touch massage that Corinne had taught us.

I reached down and brought my baby up to my chest, Josh and I both checked to see what we had as we had kept this a surprise. What a surprise it was, I was yelling out, “I did it, Oh my goodness, I did it, and It’s a girl !”.

Our beautiful little girl, Audrey Mary arrived into our world on Sunday June 16. I had a wonderful birth, it all happened quickly and I felt calm, confident and in control. As Audrey was being birthed it just felt like pressure, no pain, just pressure. I am so thankful we completed the HypnoBirthing classes with Corinne. Nick and I were able to implement so many strategies before & during labour

Did you know that two thirds of mothers don’t reach their breastfeeding goals? Given that there’s 1 baby born every 1.48 minutes in Australia, that is A LOT of mothers who are not meeting their goals.

The Importance of Postnatal Planning

September 2, 2018 Corinne Cinatl

Many couples spend a lot of time planning and preparing for birth (and rightly so) but they forget to plan and prepare for the postnatal period, when things can be most challenging and overwhelming. Whether your vision for after birth looks joyous or overwhelming you will benefit from preparing for this time by ensuring you have the support and encouragement you need to achieve the postnatal period YOU WANT and DESERVE.

The Birth of Toby

As I was breathing baby down, I had even more intense pain, which again diverted my focus, but with my HypnoBirthing training I was able to recognise this and bring myself back into the moment. I still had moments where I felt I was losing control but for most surges I was able bring myself together.

I remember asking at one point what stage of labor I was at and the midwife said transition! I did a fist pump and said hell yes if this is transition I've got this in the bag! There was not one second where I was scared or where it hurt. It was just beautful.

The Birth of Ruby-Sue

I am so glad we did HypnoBirthing and will tell the world about it! I am not scared to back again even though it wasn’t exactly as we planned. I am so proud that I lasted 33 hours without any help at all and that I still got to have my beautiful baby girl as naturally as I could, and was still in control and part of the whole experience.
