Testimonials from HypnoBirthing Utah Parents
“I labored exactly how I wanted, at home and arriving at the hospital in time to just deliver my baby boy without any interventions. At no point did I experience pain that I felt I couldn’t handle and needed drugs for. I just felt pressure and tightening, all of which I could handle. I never got an IV or Heplock or drugs of any kind. The birth really couldn’t have gone any better. I loved it and am definitely going to do HypnoBirthing again. Even though the labor was 9 hours, I am grateful to have experienced and felt every minute of it and hope that I never forget it. I am now a Hypnobirthing enthusiast. It’s been really enjoyable spreading the word about HypnoBirthing, but it’s been even more enjoyable to tell the doubters that it’s possible to have a natural birth and to even LOVE it! Not only was it good for me, it was good for my baby.” ~Erin
“My absolutely incredible little man was born this morning. Perfection. It was such an amazing birth, only 5 hours of labor, and caught by his dada in the water. Thank you Laura Curtis and the HypnoBirthing Utah community. I couldn’t have asked for better training or a more unbelievable experience.” ~Abby
“Laura Curtis thank you so much for your wonderful HypnoBirthing instruction. It helped make my planned hospital birth the natural birth I had dreamed of. It never once occurred to me to ask for pain medication throughout my 18 hour labor - the thought literally never entered my mind. I had a great doula, an amazingly supportive husband and a wonderful team of midwives that went to bat for me when the attending physician was getting antsy. I knew I wanted a natural birth because it was best for baby, but was initially intimidated by the idea! Thank you for helping me prepare, trust my body and embrace the power of the process. I’m still a little amazed by what I did.” ~Kate
“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 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 remember my husband 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!”~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. 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
“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 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 born alert, and immediately began to breastfeed. 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.” ~ Terra
