"I felt very calm and comfortable during the whole experience.I have also had almost no pain from the c-section. With Thomas's birth I could almost not walk upright and had to get a second round of pain medication. With this one, the pain never really moved beyond 2 or 3 out of 10. I believe it's a combination of a gynae working very gently and my mental and emotional preparation beforehand.Thank you so much for all your help and guidance - I'm telling anyone who'll listen about Hypnobirthing so let's hope some small changes will begin to happen with the way babies are born in SA."
"They left me and Jan on our own and I was so calm and relax by the time we arrived at the hospital because I listened to the relaxation on our way to the hospital on the IPod that not even Jan or the midwives could tell when I was having a surge. I worked entirely within myself and Louka and everything went so well.I would like to thank you for all your help as the hypnoBirthing really helped me through such a big part of our birthing experience and at least I could have the natural birth as far as possible just could not breath our baby out. This was truly an amazing experience and next time I will try again if my blood pressure wont be a problem. The relaxation techniques is something I will definitely use in many aspects of my life."

It was so
amazing to go through Lisa's birth while being there fully, not drugged
or sedated in any way. When she came out, while under water still, her
eyes were wide open and she was looking around. Magic! It was an
amazing experience and it is difficult to convey this wonderful
experience in words.

"How could I
believe when I had gone through not one, but TWO long and excrutiating
labours? I was petrified. Then I found HypnoBirthing®.
This birth took 4 1/2 hours. I was relaxed and comfortable all the way.
It was wonderful!"

"I was with
my wife for the birth of our first child. It was a bad experience for
us. Most of the techniques we practiced from the other course just
weren't there for us. HypnoBirthing®
was far more than we had even hoped for. Our daughter came into the
world so easily and in such a calm atmosphere."

"I read of
the advantage of self-hypnosis and relaxation in a magazine and set out
to find a programme that could teach me the method. I'm so happy I
found HypnoBirthing®!
This was my first baby and my active labour was only three hours from
start to end. We were thrilled!"

"I kept
telling myself that all I would feel was pressure and no pain - and it
works! That's all I did feel. What a difference from my first labour!"
