Testimonials from HypnoBirthing Utah Parents
“All our clients at my birth center take Hypnobirthing. I subsidize the cost of the class because many of the would not spend the money and it has made a huge difference – reduced our use of pain meds and hospital transports – plus it has made life much easier on the staff. We are no longer constantly exhausted from long drawn out labors. The moms are amazed and generally quite proud of what they can accomplish. Absolutely love Hypnobirthing.” ~Midwife Samantha McCormick
“I remember most the feeling of calm that was in the room as I was giving birth. There was no fear. My husband and I both were so calm. It was such a personal, bonding experience. I was so thankful for the HypnoBirthing classes that had taught me what to expect. The whole thing was so fast (32 minutes from start to finish!) that I didn’t get a chance to use the deep relaxation and the calm breathing. I didn’t get to try any different laboring positions or listen to the soft music that Ben had spent HOURS preparing for me. However, I knew that I was prepared. I knew that I could do this. And I knew that Ben could do this. I remember him saying over and over to me while I was breathing and birthing, “You can do this. You are amazing. You know how to do this. You are ready. You can do this!” Because of Hypnobirthing, I knew how to breath through my surges. I knew what to expect from my body and I knew that my body was made for this and I could do this! So, though my birth was nothing like how I had “planned”, it turned out to be perfect! Oh, and in case you were wondering, it took me longer to write up this birth story than it did to actually give birth!”~Laura E.
“Apparently hypnobirthing really worked for me! I was completely relaxed and without fear allowing me to progress naturally through the night without pain. Labor was 1 hour and 22 minutes. After his birth, Alexander pushed himself up to self attach for breastfeeding. Many people don’t know that it’s a natural instinct for a newborn to self attach to the nipple. With an epidural or other anesthesia, babies aren’t able to do that. Overall it was an incredible experience and I’m so grateful I was able to give Alexander the best start in life I possibly could.” ~ Crystal
“Delivering Ada was probably one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Everything went so perfectly. I can’t wait to share this birth experience with my own daughters one day so that they can have the same confidence in their own bodies. We women truly have amazing bodies!” ~ Jaclyn
“I got up onto my hands and knees and started pushing. Every surge felt incredible! I was laughing through and talking and breathing between my surges. I was very excited to meet my little boy. I had long breaks between pushes and it was easy to manage, but still a lot of work. I felt no pain, only worked with my pains. The definition of pains: laborious or careful efforts; assiduous care. I felt very present and acutely aware of my body. At the moment he was passed under my body and into my arms I felt an incredible shift. I felt centered, accomplished, connected, vulnerable, honest, proud empowered and completely in love.” ~Kayleigh
“I’m so grateful we took the HypnoBirthing class from Laura, because it helped me to have the kind of birth I wanted. I was so grateful for my husband. I truly couldn’t have done it without him. He was absolutely perfect – helping me to stay calm, reassuring me that I was doing well and that I could do it, rubbing my back, whatever I needed. He knew just what to do without having to be told, and I was reminded of just how perfect he is for me.” ~ Ashley
“My daughter was a perfect 7 lbs 7 ounces and 20 inches long, born alert, and immediately began to breastfeed. We were able to avoid any tearing or episiotomy, because we were faithful in practicing the perineal massage that we learned in the class, and it paid off big time! After the baby was born, the nurse said to us that our birth was the coolest thing she had ever seen, that she had never seen anyone so relaxed and calm during birth before, and that she wished she had videotaped it so that she could show others how neat it was. And many nurses came up to me afterward and told me that they had heard about how great my birth had been. All in all it was a wonderful experience, and I will be using HypnoBirthing for all my future children. I’m so thankful for my successful VBAC.” ~ Terra
