BIRTH STORIES Heidi, Glenn & Clare

Heidi & Glenn with Clare

"We heard about Hypnobabies from our neighbor who used hypnosis for her first child and was using it for her second baby too. I only wish I had begun my lessons earlier; I had severe morning sickness the first 5 months of pregnancy and could have benefited from hypnosis then. The daily sessions made me feel more at peace and one with my child. I also felt more rested after each session than I did after a full 8 hours night's rest! The natural process of birth was explained, and this encouraged me to use my body the way nature intended and not allow drugs to interfere with me or my baby. My daughter was born posterior, she was a long and difficult labor, however no vacuum or forceps were needed. She came out beautifully! It was truly amazing! I plan on using Hypnobabies for my next child; I couldn't imagine birthing any other way! Carole is truly a gifted person. We feel so fortunate to have found her for the birth of our daughter. Not only did she have years of experience, but she was also one of the most peaceful people we had ever met. Because this was our first child, I knew I would need a lot of hand holding -- Carole provided this and more. My daughter was posterior and my "birthing waves" were very difficult, but thanks to Carole I was able to endure all of them, through the entire 26 hours! She comforted me and guided me to a peaceful place each during every birth wave. Once my daughter arrived she followed through on breastfeeding and mommy needs too. I cannot say enough about this remarkable woman and I just hope that she will be present at the birth of our future children.”
