I really hope you enjoy this one! Please let me know any questions you have 😊💖. Here’s my Hypnobirthing tips video!: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WRqyioFrh4s.html
I love this ! I'm almost 30 weeks pregnant too and I have completed a hypnobirthing course too - so I am hopeful! I keep getting recommended positive birth stories and this was gorgeous x
Aww amazing, I’m glad you enjoyed watching! I’ve not long had my second baby - keep meaning to do a video on the birth story, but I have written a post on instagram (my account is in my description) if that’ll help too (water birth at home). Good luck for your birth and thank you for watching !❤️✨xx
Ah thank you so much for watching! Congratulations, such an exciting lovely time 🥰💞 hehe she is amazing isn’t she as is that pack! Good luck with it all and enjoy every moment 💖💖xx
I can’t believe how similar our births were! I did the online course with the positive birth company and loved it, I didn’t have the Freya app because my birth was 2 years ago but the breathing was the main thing that helped and I loved being in the water, I really want to film my birth story because I found it so helpful watching them and it’s one of the main reasons for starting my channel but for some reason I’m quite nervous to do it, I wrote it all down too and I’m so glad I did. Really enjoyed this video ❤️
Oh that’s so amazing! Yes I loved the positive birth company, honestly helps so much doesn’t it!! Aww definitely film It, I know it’s such a personal thing to share and takes a while to talk through it haha I’d love to hear though!! Thank you for watching mine! 💖💖xxx
Thank you for sharing your positive birth story. I’m 32w and this has definitely inspired me and given me confidence to follow through with my (very similar) birth plan :)
Ahh I’m so glad it was helpful for you! Definitely have confidence and faith! I hope you have an amazing birth ❤️❤️ thank you so much for your comment xx
Huge congratulations! I'm due in early november and want to have a natural birth like you had. I'm utterly terrified but this really helped. Thank you xx
Thank you!! Ahh honestly don’t be terrified - your body is made to do this!! I really recommend doing some Hypnobirthing even if just the book and app. So excited for you 💕💕. Thank you so much for watching! Xx
Loved this 😊 I really want to aim for a water birth with little pain relief as I’m worried about how it will make me feel (I have a huge phobia of being sick.. not great with morning sickness that was hell on Earth 😂) so this video gives me lots of encouragement!! Would love to hear more about hypnobirthing, I’ve read the book but wondering whether to do the online course too xx
Ah thank you, you can do it if that’s what you want. Would totally recommend the course. And the app was amazing to help me during labour!! Eek very exciting ❤️❤️ xx
Thank you for sharing your story! Did you recover ok from the stitches? I’m too a first time mum and have read and done a course on hypnobirthing but the tearing is the one thing that makes me nervous
Hi Irina, you’re so welcome. Yes recovery was fine! Ahh I think in theory if you’re more relaxed you have a better chance. I also didn’t do any of the massage which might help too! I think once you’re in Labour you don’t think of it too much. Or at least there’s little else you can do - in a good way! Just concentrate on everything else / your breathing ❤️. Good luck for your birth! Xx
Hey Helen ! Couple questions for you…I’ve listened to the positive birth company’s book as an audio book and replay the affirmations and relaxing techniques every night- I’m 33 weeks. I also have the Freya app. Do you think it’s worth also getting the hypnobirthing pack, as I would think it’s about the same content as the book ? Let me know ur thoughts and thanks so much for sharing your beautiful birth story !
Hi sorry this is a late reply, hope not too late!!! Hmm I’ve thought this questions myself. I’ve just had second baby and I did use it all again lol the pack does have probably the same as the info in the book and relaxations in the app. You prob don’t need as such but nice to have! Sorry probably not that helpful 😆. Thank you so much for watching! Good luck for your birth 💝💝xx
Awww so glad to hear your birth experience was so positive 💕 I am 34 weeks pregnant and I am wondering whether it is possible to have positive birth experience without hypnobirth classes?
hi Patricia, thank you so much! yes of course it is. I did online thing but you could just look into it. I have also filmed a Hypnobirthing video recently which I think could really help you! as I go through the basics of it! I think positive births are always possible, it just helps knowing some of the things Hypnobirthing teaches 💖💖 xxx
Great story Helen! I also plan to hypnobirth and I have a low pain threshold as well so I was worried that I might freak out during labour, but your story gave me more confidence. Did you do a workout routine during pregnancy?
Hi Laura 💕 thank you so much and glad you enjoyed it! Ah yes I think our pain thresholds must be partly in our minds, have confidence! I did try and go for walks most days and then in the last 6 weeks or so (?), I started swimming a couple times a week! How far along are you now? Good luck and enjoy ❤😊xxx
@@HelenGraceC Thank you! I am 26 weeks but I started watching positive birth stories and reading about hypnobirthing even before I was pregnant to help me get rid of fears and prepare for a natural water birth hopefully, because honestly I am more scared of epidurals and really want to do it without. 😊
@@lauraa.3610 aw amazing!! Yes I totally knew I wanted to do hypnobirthing before I was pregnant lol. Ah yeah I really wanted to avoid that too. I think if you know you really don’t want them you won’t ask for one! Especially if you put in your birth plan for no one to offer it either!! I’ve got a video about my hypnobirthing tips too if it helps. Are you doing an online course or anything? 💗xx
@@HelenGraceC Yes, I ve seen your hypnobirthing tips video and really enjoyed it. I am not doing any course just reading lots books about birth and listening to relaxation, positive affirmations tracks while practising deep breathing.
Loved this so reassuring watching these I'm due in the next 4 weeks and I've done the PBC course but still a bit anxious at times. I was wondering if you practices your breathing technique before labour?
Bre Bre ah thank you for watching! Yes I did practice the breathing, every day for a few weeks, not loads but just for the couple minutes. Down breathing I found tricky but just kept up breathing. I swear by that with the counting - really really helped me focus and be calm! Aw good luck, you can do it, and enjoy it!! ❤️❤️xx
Your birth sounds like everything I put on my plan and would’ve liked 😂 I would have LOVED a water birth. Such an amazing experience. Did you say you only pushed for 18 minutes lol? Amazing having no pain relief 👍🏻 x
Gracey Blossom aww really, I know I was very lucky it all worked out so I could have a water one. Haha yes think was about that, they said that’s quite quick lol. Ah thank you it’s weird it didn’t occur to me haha labour does funny things!! Xx
I am only 34 weeks at this point but also have the PBC digital pack and freya app and love them sooo much...want to get the book hopefully before babe comes...love ur story so wonderful...i am super excited for this time around for birth!!!!
Hi Georgina, I do really think that you get a lot out of the actual classes. It brings more out of it and you get a better understanding! And then the exercises you can listen to etc. so yes I would really recommend!! Good luck ❤️❤️xxx
You’re welcome! I definitely think there’s some value in actually hearing/ listening to all the info and the affirmations. I used to play it in the car haha - the Freya app does that too but obviously not the lessons! I had it all but was really glad! And I would again too 😊xx
Hi Rebecca! Thank you for watching. I just wanted as little people in the room as possible for such an intimate personal time. So I could feel comfortable as possible! That being said I ended up with a student anyway which was okay. There wasn’t as much talking as I thought there’d be between the midwife and student! Also once you’re in the midst of labour I didn’t really notice her lol not sure what I would do if there’s a next time however!!xx
Aw I wrote it in my birth plan. That’s the best thing to do. And get birth partner to give it otherwise. But honestly mine was very discreet. But I probably would say no students again! Xx
