I met Jenn and her husband as they prepared for the birth of their second baby through the Hypnobubs online course and one-on-one session.
Read all about Jenn’s rewarding, positive, healing birth.
Hi Kate,
Apologies for the late response. Yes, we had our beautiful little girl, Neve, on 23 June at 18:19 at Murdoch. The birth went really well, despite 18 hours of surges…BUT the hypno-techniques were incredible and I surprised myself at how calm I was when they kept coming, especially towards the end. The pushing part was only 19 minutes I am told but it was damn sore 😀 The techniques nearly all went out the window at that stage but the breathing down did help to speed up Neve’s entrance to the world.

Hubby was incredible throughout. His cheat sheet notes were learnt off-by-heart after a few hours of repeating them to me. Poor guy was so amazing, even when I told him to stop talking to me when I was pushing. I sustained a secondary tear which I am told is normal. No VE (vaginal exam) or any intervention at any point – just as we had wanted. The obstetrician arrived 5 minutes after Neve was born, which is what I wanted. (My obstetrician) knew what we wanted so he was happy for the midwife to “do her thing” and she was great. She just let us be which is all we ever wanted.
So the experience this time round, thanks to the hypnobirthing course and the techniques, was just incredible. It has really eased the memories of birth number 1 and I am genuinely at peace now. I know that a natural birth is possible and can be a very rewarding and positive experience.
Thanks very much to you as well for the brief interaction. Every bit helped to get us to the point of confidence. We were even prepared to have her in the car or at home accidentally 😀

I hope that you are keeping well and thank you again for the input. We are absolutely thrilled with the process and outcome. I am promoting hypnobirthing to all my pregnant friends and those planning on falling pregnant. They can’t believe no pain meds 😀
Keep well and thank you so very much – we really appreciate your support.
Take care
Jenn and family
