Hypnobirthing success stories?

Question

Hi ladies! Anyone here given hypnobirthing a go? Good experiences or ambivalent?

Answer

FTM. I've studied the Hypnobabies home course for this one.  I am 40+1 and no opportunity to put it into practice yet.  :)

I have also read Active Birthing just in case I'm the type who needs to move around more to get my baby out.

Answer

There is a hypnobirthing group on here if you are interested

Answer

I used hypnobabies with my last birth number three. It worked amazingly for me. My first two labors were 36&35 hours my third was only 5 hours start to finish,and I was able to do it without drugs(I had epidural with my first two)

Answer

Success. I did home study Hypnobirthing starting around 25 weeks. At 8am at 41 weeks, 4 days I had a membrane sweep. I think I started contractions right after but they felt like period cramps to me. By 3:30pm that day my water broke. I was checked by the midwife at 7pm and was 80% effaced and 3cm. I had my son by 11:30pm. I only questioned my sanity at 9:30pm thinking that I had another 5 hours of labor.

Answer

I did the hypnobabies home study course and had my baby without an epidural on April 20th. I was overdue and had to be induced for high blood pressure which really changed how I labored and how "medical" it all felt which interrupted my ability to use all the techniques but the mental preparation and faith that everything was going as planned and that this was a safe experience that my body could handle was completely essential to birthing my baby naturally and I definitely owe that to hypnobabies. It also helped me to relax when everyone was going crazy about me being overdue. I highly recommend it!

Answer

I had a hypnobirth with my first (didn't have a birthing partner) and tried with my second and third (exhusband was very unsupportive).

My daughter is nine now but I remember my birth very well. It didn't go quite as if hoped because I was induced, but other than that it was amazing. I didn't want or need any pain relief. She came out pretty quickly. There was a nurse I had to kick out of the room because she believed she magically knew what my uterus was doing and was instructing me to push (her presence was the only time I felt any pain).

It was a wonderful experience and I wish it could have been repeated with births 2 & 3. But as I said my exhusband was unsupportive (skeptical, all about medicated births, not in my corner) and I wound up have 2 c-sections (both after the start of labor).

Now I'm a VBA2C and trying hypnobirthing with my birth partner and fiance who regularly meditates. We're really looking forward to our natural, gentle, peaceful birth.

Answer

I got an epidural but it helped relieve my stress before having my second baby after the first was a c section. My sister has successfully used it with 4 births and hasn't gotten an epidural. My mom says you can't even tell she is having contractions.
