The Birth of baby Theodore Arlo

10 Jan

My story with hypnobirthing,

I was pregnant and lost in a pandemic until I found Yvette, I was an anxious wreck about birth after hearing loads of horror stories. I started my classes and instantly felt calmer about what I was to expect, we covered so many aspects it was easy to take it all in.

I became less anxious and more relaxed.

So here came the day I was to go into labour, I used some of the techniques Yvette showed us and my husband helped me remember the breathing during surges and massaged my back.

I always wanted a water birth, so this is what we requested. I found the midwives at the Princess Royal Hospital in Hayward’s Heath amazing, they maintained a calm atmosphere.

I had a natural and wonderful birth and welcomed my baby boy into the world on 23/01/21

I can’t recommend Yvette enough for all her help and support.
