I’ve just had the most incredible hypnobirth, no pain, no pushing , just breathing my baby down, it got to a point where I was in this euphoric state where it actually felt nice! 🤷🏼♀️😂 the most amazing experience
Exactly how i felt with my first birth. It was out of this world. I wanted to do it again straight away. 5 years on im weeks away from hopefully experiencing that again
So glad you had this experience, I hoped I would with my second but actually fou6it really painful and hard even though on paper I had a perfect birth with no interventions in water using hypno it was very intense
I did a hypnobirth with my last baby, and am planning on doing another to deliver my current baby. Not going to lie, it was painful! But I don’t think anything was “going wrong”. I felt very in control and empowered, even with the very intense feelings of birth. I definitely yelled, and felt like writhing, but never once did I feel like something was wrong. Overall it was an extremely positive experience and left me feeling more empowered as a woman than anything else. I just want any new mommas, or mommas who have tried hypnobirth but didn’t get the “easy peasy pain free birth”, to know that it’s ok if it’s painful, you aren’t failing. You are accomplishing one of the most intense things in life, and no matter how you deliver your baby, you are a badass. Having a baby, stepping into motherhood, and guiding children into adulthood is fucking intense. It’s reflected by the birth process. The intensity is a gift. Coal cannot become a diamond without extreme pressure. And we cannot rise to our fullest potential without great challenge. Blessings on all the mommas, poppas, and babies ❤
I did hypnobirthing 2.5 years ago, I loved it. I'm due to give birth any day now and can't wait do this again. I highly recommend this course to anyone. Good luck! 😊
Throughout my pregnancy I've made it a point and high priority to only surround myself with positive and true messages about the labor process. Out of everything I have read and watched (although it's all been very helpful), I must say that this video has made me feel the most at ease and excited for the big day my baby comes. Thank you so much!
I am learning so much hypno birth is so interesting I am going to try this I have been listening to frequency music and it works and have been some studies on using frequency music for pain relief during childbirth Wishing everyone who reads this a pain free birth or a reduced pain birth
I’m just 19 but I have always been terrified of birth. Very terrified. I live above a gynaecology clinic and have heard women screaming and moaning often. I found it very disturbing. Birth felt like a terrible burden on women. This is really helping me finally become positive about it.
Thank you ! I done a class and listened to your Hypnobirthing mediation recordings everyday in my first pregnancy 2 1/2 years ago. Painless labour! It was so Powerful. Now I’m 26 weeks pregnant with my second baby and I’m so excited to use Hypnobirthing again❤
I did your PBC course for my first birth in 2021 and it was an incredible birth experience. I will be honest, for my second pregnancy I took my midwife's advice and signed up for hypnobabies and I'm now at week 32 coming back to PBC resources and courses because your method is so visual and memorable and informative. I find it so empowering to picture my muscles working vs only focusing on very technical hypnosis techniques. There is no right or wrong course but I wanted to mention so that people who learn more through visualization and storytelling, go with the PBC programs 💓
I’m going to give birth here in Thailand, there is no opinion for pain relief in the city where I live. Only one hospital offers epidural and it’s very expensive….im terrified because this is my first pregnancy, the doctors here don’t explain much either. Watching this video gave me hope that it might be possible to have a positive experience with unmedicated birth🙏🏻
Ofcourse you can do this! Little pain, medium pain of heavy pain, you can absolutely handle this. I don't think you can compare the pain of birth to anything, because pain is always associated with something negative (a warming sign from your body). But this time pain is associated with something amazing, you will deliver your own perfect baby
I've had 5 births and tried an Epidural twice. My epidural births were harder before and after. Do yoga to learn to relax. This is what helps the most.
I've read a lot about hypnobirthing and watched videos. I was so curieus and a bit excited to go into labour. But the contractions where so extremely painful (and very strong, that was the advantage), I was relaxed but still.. painless.. absolutely not it was very extreme. I wish everybody to be confident and relaxed but also realistic.
@@z.s.r.h yes I tried, but it didn't work for me. I was calm between contractions, because I wasn't scared (didn't have the time to be scared?), but the contractions felt like I was stabbed with knifes. Well, if you imagine someone being stabbed with knifes, you just can't breath normally (or other breathing techniques which are suggested) and stay relaxed. That isnt possible. However, I have read multiple birthstories (really a lot) and I read about a lot of woman who experienced contractions in other way (more like cramps, and starting easy and getting very hard in the end), so I don't think I represent women with 'average' contractions. Maybe it does work for other people. Staying calm is absolutely beneficial. But for me, hypnobirthing didnt help me in any way. I think it's more useful to think, okay, I will experience pain, and these days we don't experience that much pain anymore (like back in the days without anesthesia etc), but I can handle that. What am I going to do and think, to get through the pain. I think we lost confidence in ourselves that we can actually manage pain.
This exact thing happened to me. My surges started FAST and STRONG from the very beginning. I couldn't get it together. I practiced for months and I do think it made me more confident in labor I couldn't get myself into a state of hypnosis because of how quickly it was happening! I'm pregnant with my second and gonna try again!
Thank you so much for your video! I really appreciate videod like this I'm currently 38 weeks with my first baby and tbh I feel really at ease with the thought of labour. ❤️
@@morselloazerbaijan9068 hi there! Sorry I didn't reply earlier I didn't see your question until now. I had a very easy birth, it really is mind over matter. Youe mind is the most powerful tool in the universe so really focus on controlling yourself through your birth. Really believing that you aren't in pain honestly works. I had a 100% unmedicated birth and I'd do it all over again ♥️
@@joyfulreflections I had such an amazing birth, it really is mind over matter. Your mind is so powerful, if you truly believe you aren't in pain your body adapts to what your brain is thinking. Hypnobirthing is so amazing and powerful ♥️
I bought the hypnobirthing course from your site and I am loving it! Watching these vids as well when I’m browsing RUclips-so far it’s helped my anxiety a lot and makes me feel more and more confident each time I finish a workshop on the course. A blessing to have this resource!!! Xxx
This is such a helpful and calming video, thank you so much! 💗💗People like you, better birth stories, and other channels are life savers. This helped so much.
Love your videos, thank you! I have given birth using the techniques that you teach in your digital pack. I loved by birthing experience and looking forward to having another positive birth with my second child.
Period cramps hurt and I'm not experiencing fear when they occur though.. I'm due at the end of Oct and I fully expect to feel serious pain and I'm coming to terms with that rather than thinking 'it hurts therefore there's something wrong'. That seems like the scarier thought.
Yeah, she didn't explain that part very well. You probably already delivered, but for anyone else reading this: While pain can be caused by something going wrong, often times it's just tension in the body. That's one reason the relaxation techniques work so well. If someone tries to pry your fingers open when you are holding something it can be painful because of the opposition of forces. Or if you have painful gas from beans or something, a lot of times relaxing your abdomen will change the sensation from sharp pains to mild discomfort and the gas can move out easier. In labor, your cervix is a muscle that is opening and the uterus is moving the baby down. Tension from excitement, nerves, fear, stress, embarrassment, or outside discomforts can increase tension in the body. When people are nervous, anxious, or excited, they often describe their stomachs as clenching or getting butterflies. It's not bad or dangerous, but it is describing tension and can unintentionally oppose the laboring muscles. The nice thing is there are lots of things you can do to relax and release tension. Joking, laughing, hugging, cuddling, kissing, massage, calm music, breathing techniques, movement, laying down, yoga, dancing, keeping most of your weight on your arms from hanging onto something (removes tension from the abdomen specifically), sleeping, eating, hot packs, aromatherapy, and being in water are a few.
I tried hynobirthing with my first baby. Im pregnant with my second and planning to try again. The issue i had was when i was in labor i was rejecting the suggestions. I practiced for months so im confused on why this happened 😢
What can I do when I naturally have extremely high cortisol ? I'm also 400-800 over the normal limits for cortisol for the last 8 years I've been seeing an endo to figure it out but no answer so far . Would this still work for me ?
Are your courses suitable for US parents? I’d love to buy your courses but want to make sure it’s a good option for me even though I’m outside the UK. Thanks!
Hi there! Absolutely! We're proud to say that over 55,000 women and birthing people in 81 different countries have signed up for a better birth experience using our course x
Riiiight? Me too! I could do this a few weeks or months ago, but since my due date was this past Sat, I'm getting even more swollen and painful hands 😢
Isn’t the pain your hand also just overworking muscles though? Like, when you workout, the pain is muscles tearing and then they repair and get stronger. Your uterus has never given birth before, so wouldn’t the muscle just hurt from the extreme workout?
Working out shouldn't be painful during the work out. When you feel burning during a workout, that is lactic acid build up, and it will go away when you stop exercising. You shouldn't feel your muscles tear, but feel sore a couple days later if you have micro tears. If you feel tears during a workout, you are injuring yourself. Your uterus is different than skeletal muscle. My contractions feel similar to period cramps only short and like a wave from less intense to more intense and back down to less intense again. In between, there is no pain. And when it cramps after birth to shrink back down to regular size, it does the same thing, and it can feel unpleasant, but I've never felt like my uterus was sore, the way a skeletal muscle gets sore from micro tears. It's just not the same.
Im in early labour, and the breathing excersizes do work. I wasn't doing them, and it was so uncomfortable and getting back pain. I'm in early labour right now, and these breathing techniques are a life saver and helping with my contractions. Its so much easier. It still feels uncomfortable, but its not painful and its really helping eez my contractions. Being uncomfortable isn’t lasting that long either.😊
I wanna believe labor and birth can be pain free but I'm skeptical of this logic. I'm not sure the definition of pain is relevant. One could say that what's "wrong" is that the baby no longer wants to be in the body of mother and therefore demands to get out. That causes pain until it's rectified by baby being born.
You might want to check out some birth videos. Specifically Ina mays birth videos from when she was a midwife on the farm. Their births are told to be pleasant. There are many accounts of “painless” births.
Birth hurts though. Like it's a fact of life, I can't gaslight myself into believing it's not gonna hurt. Contractions are extreme muscular movements designed to push the baby down and dilate the cervix, pushing a watermelon sized object out of the pelvis is agony for most humans. The breathing exercises may be helpful in remaining calm but I cannot accept logically what you're saying about birth being painfree, especially after watching people give birth a few times..
I’ve had 5 births and can honestly say that my last wasn’t painful until the very end when I had to move to actually push the baby out and it threw off my groove. After that it did hurt but only a few minutes until the baby actually came. 90% is mental, I had to change my mindset, and think of the contractions differently. Being grateful for each one and for its purpose of bringing me closer to my baby. In breathing I actually focused on the contraction more and followed it through, relaxing into it and even through transition it wasn’t painful, just stronger. I didn’t realize how far I was until my body got the transition shakes but still I wasn’t in pain. Her advice really does work so have faith! If you’re going to believe in something I’d rather believe that birth can be painless rather than always excruciating. It makes sense that our bodies were designed to do it so there would be natural things in place to ease it. Animals don’t have nearly the problems we as women have and it makes sense that they are more in tune with their instincts. My first two both were horrible because I’d tense up and fight the contractions and mentally run from it. I ended up with an epidural for both because I could handle the pain. It was a bad experience but I didn’t have any tools to help me then. The breathing and mental switch was a game changer for my last 3 births and especially my last I feel like it really jumped into it with both feet. Have faith ladies, it really can work.
@@charcW8850 Glad it worked out for you, I went on to have a 36 hour labour that ended in a cat 2 emergency c section, my baby got stuck and nothing I could actually do would help. I pushed for 1 hour 45 minutes and was rushed to theatre. Breathing through 34 hours of pitocin induced contractions.. yeah, it can be done. Would I recommend it? No.
@@ordinarybread what ptsd are you talking about? Did you not read my experience? I’ve had 6 pregnancies and when I used her advice it was a night and day difference in pain. Her advice works. But you actually have to believe that it can help and trust the breathing and your body, otherwise yes, you’ll give in to fear and that is the worst mistake if you want to avoid pain. Stop telling women that it has to be painful, I know from experience that it doesn’t.
In my experience, hypnobirthing did absolutely squat to eliminate my pain during labour. Let’s not gaslight women: labour hurts like a b&tch, and there’s no way around that pain unless you get an epidural. We turned off hypnobabies as soon as we got to the hospital. Imagine hearing, “you will gently push your baby down” as you feel excruciating pain with each contraction. Feels a bit dishonest, no? There are real ways to manage pain during labour-laughing gas, heat, water, pressure, sensory stuff, breathing-but denying its existence is not one of them.
I have to agree here. I am very spiritual (meditating for 10 years) very mentally trained and took my hypnobabies classes very seriously. As soon as my surges started I was so alarmed and caught off guard by the intense surges (using their term) that I couldn't function or logically think what could assist me. It was so unbearable for me. I do feel it helped me prepare and think id be able to handle the pain though. Which kept me calm till 40weeks. I'm pregnant with my second and gonna try again.
It was extremely helpful for me. I didn't experience no pain but overall I had a euphoric experience in which I was in the mindset to focus on good feelings instead of the pain
I’ve just had the most incredible hypnobirth, no pain, no pushing , just breathing my baby down, it got to a point where I was in this euphoric state where it actually felt nice! 🤷🏼♀️😂 the most amazing experience

In my experience, hypnobirthing did absolutely squat to eliminate my pain during labour. Let’s not gaslight women: labour hurts like a b&tch, and there’s no way around that pain unless you get an epidural. We turned off hypnobabies as soon as we got to the hospital. Imagine hearing, “you will gently push your baby down” as you feel excruciating pain with each contraction. Feels a bit dishonest, no? There are real ways to manage pain during labour-laughing gas, heat, water, pressure, sensory stuff, breathing-but denying its existence is not one of them.
So you're saying every lady who had a lovely birth without an epidural are ..liars??
My thoughts exactly! 😅 The bible makes it clear women will experience pain during labour
@@claudialopes2652 right but every woman is different
I have to agree here. I am very spiritual (meditating for 10 years) very mentally trained and took my hypnobabies classes very seriously. As soon as my surges started I was so alarmed and caught off guard by the intense surges (using their term) that I couldn't function or logically think what could assist me. It was so unbearable for me. I do feel it helped me prepare and think id be able to handle the pain though. Which kept me calm till 40weeks. I'm pregnant with my second and gonna try again.
It was extremely helpful for me. I didn't experience no pain but overall I had a euphoric experience in which I was in the mindset to focus on good feelings instead of the pain
