Testimonials
This is a small testimonial that I feel I must write to let you know just how Hypnobirthing changed not only my birth but my life.
My husband and I had a lovely life, both had really good jobs that we were doing really well in and both loved. We took exotic holidays at least twice a year and lived really well with out a care in the world. So when we found out that I was pregnant all hell broke loose, in fact I did not speak to my husband for 3 weeks, we were both shocked and concerned how we were going to cope with being parents?
After we had the 12 week scan and everything sunk in that we were actually going to be parents we started telling people. Now you get the normal reaction of “Congratulations,” and “How wonderful,” and then you get the horror stories, I could never get my head around why people have to tell you all the gory details of how terrible there pregnancy was and then worst of all how much pain they were in through out there labour, if you were not scared enough this just tips you over the edge. From this point I stopped sleeping, all I could think about was how on earth I was going to give birth to this little person growing in side me? And then what on earth am I going to cope with a new baby?
I am 32 years old and had never even changed a nappy, we did not have children in the family and I had never even baby sat for anyone how am I going to look after a baby? Well one day I said these exact things to someone I worked with and he instantly said I was feeling exactly the same as him and his wife before the birth of there baby Boy, and started telling me about Hypnobirthing sounding a little unorthodox and something I had never heard of before I looked it up on the wonderful world wide web. After reading everything I could I decided to speak to someone about it and this is when I found Marilyn.
Marilyn is just wonderful; from the very first moment I spoke to her she made me feel at ease. She explained about how Hypnobirthing was more mind conditioning to something that humans have been doing for thousands of years, and despite what everyone tells you it is a completely natural thing for your body to do. So I booked for my husband and I to join the course.
My Husband thought that the whole Hypnobirthing thing was a complete waste of time and that we should just do what everyone else does and take as much pain relief as possible and get through it, after all it is only a day But I knew that there must be a better way. After the first meeting with Marilyn my Husband was a changed man and thought that HB was the way forward and our birthing day was going to be wonderful. I saw a light at the end of the tunnel and started to believe that maybe I could do this? Not only the Birth, but my new job of being a Mum. The confidence not only started to help me prepare for the arrival of my baby girl but it also started to spilled into my work life and started to become calmer (less of a stress head).
By the end of the course I was a changed person, nothing fazed me anymore. Not only was I completely prepared for our babies birthing day and if I am completely honest I was so excited I could not wait to meet my baby girl, but I was really looking forward to starting our new family life and even more than that my new job role as a Mum, and it was all because of Marilyn and the HB method. Marilyn was and is just wonderful, no matter what questions I had or how silly I thought something was she did not make me feel stupid and always left my husband and I reassured.
When my birthing day finally came we were so excited and after 5 hours 40 mins of a calm Labour with only a little bit of gas and air for the last hour or so we finally got to meet our beautiful baby girl Annabelle, now 6 weeks on we have the most wonderful life it has bought my husband and I closer than we ever thought that we could be and my little girl is calm, doesn’t cry unless she needs to let us know she’s hungry/wet ect. Annabelle Rose is just a delight and we truly believe that it is all thanks to and because of Hypnobirthing.
In closing my advise to anyone is give it a try!! Don’t just dismiss this because of its name or because others think that it is all a little weird, give it a go it will change your life.
