Birth Stories Our baby girl arrived last Thursday, born at home, as planned, very quickly. The recordings proved to be a fantastic tool during the labour process, helping me reach that birthing zone to just tune into my body and baby. Throughout the whole process (except for the very very end when I thought I couldn't carry on anymore, and then she was born) I was very calm, using long, slow breathing and listening to the downloads the entire time. The midwives found them relaxing too! I particularly liked the Balloon and the Pain Relief and Pete loved the Partners track. It really did help and I believe that without them I would have had nothing to focus on except for the sensations of giving birth. I wouldn't say the birth was pain free, although, the only discomfort I felt was really once the baby started to come down the birth canal and even then it wasn't really pain, more just a very weird sensation. Your head says this isn't possible, but your body says 'come on we're having a baby!'. We didn't film it, or even take photos, it was just too fast. My recovery has been so much faster than I expected and our baby is just the most gorgeous, calm, lovely little thing I've ever seen! What a great website, thanks for making our birth so much easier than we ever expected. Miriam and Pete (London) The audio downloads helped me to relax during pregnancy,delivery and afterwards. I particularly liked "Bonding with my Baby"and the "Recovery" downloads as they helped to do just that. I stilllisten to them today. For medical reasons I ended up having a c-section to deliver, but I knew it was going to be the best C-Section ever, and with the downloads, it was. I had an amazingly swift recovery that I really believe it is due to the relaxed andpositive state I was in. This also helped with breast feeding. I highly recommend the downloads to everyone. Thank you. May & Leigh, London A friend suggested your downloads as I couldn't afford hypnotherapy classes to prepare for my birth so I've been listening to your wonderful recordings right through my pregnancy. I just wanted to tell you that they have been amazing and I can't imagine getting through the birth without them. I was 9 cm dilated when I got to the hospital and gave birth 2 and a half hours later. I felt like I was really yelling, but the midwives said they couldn't believe how quiet I was, particularly at the end. My husband couldn't believe how calm and focused (and quick) it all was and our baby now loves the recordings too, they really soothe her. Samantha Jenkins - Washington DC WOW! Hard to believe the complete change in our attitude to birth since we started working with your recordings. We had been scared by all the negative information from friends and even the ante-natal classes but really managed to switch to a positive mindset and shut out the negatives. It's had such an impact, not just for birth - I feel on top of the world and really excited about experiencing labour. Now that I'm not scared or nervous I can really imagine letting my body take over, I'm sure it'll know what to do with the downloads to help me relax and let go. Jono and Yasmin (nr Montreal, Canada) Your site was recommended by our midwife who knew I was anxious about the birth. I didn't think listening to recording would really work but it made a big difference, taking the edge off everything and I can even say I enjoyed the experience ... to my great surprise. They were worth every penny and I think I'll now use them whenever I feel stressed! Penny (Birmingham, UK)
