Hello! I gave birth at home this past December to my 5th baby. She came so fast that I was alone when she was born. Your videos really helped me stay calm, focused and connected. It was the most positive birth experience I've had. I caught her myself and held her close until my midwife arrived. Thank you for helping. We are healthy and well.💝

Just coming back a week after my birth to say THANK YOU for these affirmation videos. I used them daily in the weeks leading up to labour and they helped put my mind at ease. In the end, I was able to have the exact birth experience I wanted and while I know a certain amount of that is luck, I also felt like all the hours listening to your affirmations built my confidence and kept me positive (even when baby was a week late). Your content is so helpful and it's truly impressive to offer so much for free on KZbin so it is accessible to all.

I’m in labor right now but at home, waiting for contractions to get closer before I go to the hospital

[@anam.aria.]

How did things go? Hope all went well!

[@transylvanianfarmer]

I can’t thank you enough for your videos. I was scared senseless at the thought of giving birth to my 5th. I chose a birth center this time around, but the memories of my previous labors paralyzed me with fear. My baby was 6 days overdue. I found you the day after his due date. I watched your videos, and while in labor, I listened to your meditations, remembered the breathing techniques, and I worked with my body, welcomed the surges, and was able to relax through the pain. I believe that that is what helped me go from ‘almost a 5’ to ready to push in 3 contractions. Fastest delivery yet. I almost didn’t make it to the birth center because it didn’t hurt that much and I wasn’t convinced I was in true labor. Now, I must say I completely lost it when it was time to push, but the midwife was able to remind me to internalize my screaming and use it to push baby out. I did it, and I was back home in 4 hours. I delivered 45 minutes (and 7 contractions) after arriving at the birth center, and stayed another 3.5 hrs postpartum. I listened to the meditations nonstop until I was pushing. Once again, THANK YOU!!!

[@Venusqueenzee]

Congratulations on your baby! I’m getting ready to prepare for baby #2 and I’m not scared but I’m not sure what to expect with the pain since I got an epidural the last pregnancy. Your comment definitely gave me much needed motivation. I’m choosing a birth center as well

Should I wait a few more weeks before doing this meditation?

[@gauriblomeyer1835]

Wonderful and a good initiative to all who are coming into this process. And there is more, unbelievable more, until now never used because science cannot explain it and what science cannot explain is not permitted in the mind by he media. One example, there was a couple. He had a guitar and she had been given by her parents an old horse carriage with a donkey. He would go from village to village and collect old pieces of metal. They stayed in hostel. He would play his guitar and she would perform very old dances. There was little money coming from the guests and plenty of food from the left overs. One day she gave birth under the horse carriage on the way in rain. Her baby was Carmen Amaya, the best Flamenco dancer of all times. When once asked how she got her heavenly dance capacity she told the secret. „ My mom prayed three times every day of the pregnancy period to our highest deity, our Mahashakti to give her coming baby the best dancing capacity of all times. She purposely used to pray with a louder voice. When Carmen was 3 she danced already in the hostels and when 10 she surpassed all others in the complex Flamenco dance. So, the secret is to know and practise the huge enhanced imagination power during pregnancy. In the western world this spiritual secret is unknown and in case it is it will not be used.

[@bboyswitch22]

I'm just on the toilet having some trouble

[@amcaruso1]

Thank you for putting this out there :) I wish it didn't have a lot of the "your body was built for birth" type affirmations because it can really mess with a woman's head if something goes wrong and an emergency c-section is needed. You feel like a failure because you've been telling yourself for months how your body and baby know exactly what to do. Well, sometimes it doesn't work out the natural way and we need to have assistance. Otherwise, great affirmations. I won't be listening because of my reasons above but if you make a more inclusive affirmation meditation I'd definitely buy it!

[@suzannemarie86]

Sorry but that is all in your mind that you feel this way. One of the biggest parts of hypnobirthing is that birth is beautiful however it happens. Hypnobirthing books and courses teach mothers what to do and how to remain calm and relaxed using self-hypnosis during every situation, including emergency c-section. I recommend reading a few books on hypnobirthing as you will be surprised at what you learn. Hypnobirthing teaches mothers to let go of rigid birth plans and remain calm and breathe and accept any circumstance surrounding their birth - it can be done using induction, epidural and c-section! My birth plan includes how we will incorporate natural methods of hypnobirthing in all circumstances, including medical emergency (e.g. you can still play your relaxing affirmations and music to remain calm during c-section in the operating room.). Hypnobirthing is the most inclusive birthing technique out there. No mother is a failure, and women most certainly are designed to give birth. :)

[@suzannemarie86]

I recommend the Hypnobirthing Book by Katharine Graves and Hypnobirthing: The Morgan Method by Marie Mongan. They go over every birth scenario, all options for medical providers, etc.

[@ruthfindlay6743]

That is actually my favourite part of the affirmations and the main reason that I am trying for a VBAC. Having confidence in your body is so important regardless of the outcome. If I didn't believe my body was built for birth I would just take the repeat cesarean without prepping for a VBAC.

[@janj5913]

Even if you have a c section, it’s not your fault and it’s still a natural birth with these affirmations still very applicable. But it’s your choice if you see this as negative

[@sheebashafaq1685]

Your legs are meant to walk but sometimes you get a fracture, doesn't mean you lose all faith in your body and have doubts as to your abilities. Accidents happen and you should be prepared for any emergency but that doesn't mean losing faith in your body.

Thank you so much for these meditation! I'm almost 33 weeks and today I started to get some weird strong cramps that totally freaked me out. My husband is out doing sports and I couldn't contact my doctor nor my family and I totally started to panic about having my baby alone in my living room, but doing this meditation actually helped me to get out of panic mode and calm down. I was still skeptical about hypnobirthing but after today I'll definitely save this meditation and use it for the big day (that I hope is still some weeks in the future :'( ).
