First time Mom doesn't even know if she's in her birthing time... then gets quite a surprise!

Check out this amazing story of another Twin Cities' couple who used the Hypnobabies home study course to have a fantastic birth.

Editor's Note from Anne: Hearing Michele tell me this story was one of the main reasons I became a Hypnobabies Instructor!

Elena’s Birth Story

We loved the Hypnobabies program and will do it again if we have another baby. Besides doing a ton of reading on my own (Ina May Gaskin, etc.) and going to a few Childbirth Collective classes, the Hypnobabies program was the only childbirth education that we did. I ordered the home-based program because we were looking to save money (to pay for our doula and placenta encapsulation) and I knew I had enough discipline to do it on my own. Although I did miss a few times, I very consistently did the hypnosis tracks every day and the affirmations CD at least once a day, sometimes twice. I usually listened to the affirmations on my bus commute to work, which put me in a good mood and set the tone for the day. The affirmations CD really was my favorite and I think made the most difference for my birth. I was confident in my birthing ability and truly believed birth could be easy and awesome.

Lydia Jane: A Birth Story

In the weeks leading up to Lydia’s birth, I had been visualizing giving birth on June 12. My OB was on call on the 12th and I really wanted her to be the attending physician. In addition, while on our babymoon in Florida, we met an eccentric, rich, old woman who had promised us $1,000 if I gave birth on the 12th because it was her birthday (with the caveat that I couldn’t be induced).

Here is Amie's birth story.  Just a month after giving birth to Sawyer she told me (Anne) "I seriously can't wait to do this whole birthing process again!  It was fantastic!"

My journey to a calm and comfortable childbirth was not an easy one. I was the girl who said she would never try a natural childbirth. Why, you may ask? Let me start by saying that I am a Registered Nurse. I remember back to my nursing school days very vividly. I remember watching and assisting women with the birth of their babies, watching them scream and writhe in pain. To me, that was no way to welcome the birth of your baby. I knew from that point on that I would be getting an epidural when the time came for me to have babies. I wanted to enjoy the birth of my baby and that did not appear to be possible without an epidural.

Home Birth After Cesarean (HBAC): Juniper's Birth Story

Juniper’s Birth Story

I had been experiencing frequent braxton hicks for a couple weeks before the birth. Even though I had them most of my pregnancy they were starting to become more frequent at night making me believe that “tonight was the night.” They never turned into anything and left me unable to fall asleep for hours.

My guess date came and went which didn’t surprise me all that much, but when the 41 week mark came and went I started getting impatient. I loved being pregnant but was mentally and physically ready to meet this new little one.
