This birth story starts with
"I first want to say that there has never been a more significant
moment in my life than when I finally held my brand new baby girl
before they had even cut the cord. I know I will never forget that.
It would have been worth anything I might have experienced- good or
bad.Next I want to say that my birth experience was a very positive one,
and that it seemed to me to be about half as long as it actually was-
16 hours. I was able to maintain focus throughout nearly all of the
experience and have to say that I am a true believer in the
effectiveness of the Hypnobabies program."Listen to the whole thing! It is great. :)

I got this great email today with this question
and while I was typing up an answer to respond to the question,
I realized what I really need to do is make a podcast episode about this.
So that’s what I decided to do. I did send my email with my written response,
but here is an audio response, which I think will be more powerful.

Little Alex was a gentleman and let Mommy see his big brother sing in church for Mother's Day.
After that though, he was ready to come (or maybe just Mom was), and BOY did he come fast.

Such a wonderful birth story, showing that even if you sleep through your practice, it can still work.

I have attended over 50 births.
I have missed 3 births.
1 was an emergency cesarean and I arrived after the mom was already in the operating room.
1 was an extremely long birth and I went to the first half, then headed out on a trip and my back up doula took over.
My favorite one I missed, I actually felt as if I was almost there.
Again, it was a trip that kept me from attending,
but my friend, knew that was possible, so she had other doulas coming too.
Here is what happened and how it felt like I was sort of almost there!

Valerie had 3 babies with epidurals.
Then she wanted to have a natural birth –
and did with baby 4.
that baby was posterior, like her first 3 and the discomfort made her not want to have another natural birth.
She had 2 more babies with epidurals.Then she met me and with Hypnobabies decided it was worth trying to have a natural birth again.
I was her doula for her last 2 babies
Yes, she had 8 babies!I loved interviewing Valerie.
She was one of my Hypnobabies Student – 2 times, for baby number 7 and 8!
I also was her doula for those 2 births.
She had Toxemia (high blood pressure) during her 3rd birth and was told to have no more children.
This led her on a path to alternative medicine. This allowed her to become strong enough to have more children. She got a second opinion and changed careproviders and went on to have 5 more children!
I was amazed at the story she shared about her friend who broke multiple bones and after a surgery was struggling with pain. Valerie felt inspired to lend her friend her Hypnobabies CDs and they made a huge difference.
Valerie also shares how Hypnobabies has helped her after having babies.Of course, she shares her birth experiences and it will be especially interesting to moms who have had posterior babies, as all 8 of her babies presented that way.

Do you know the amazing tool that can be used with dental surgery and birth?
Did you know that people use hypnosis for dental surgery?
Hypnosis is a powerful tool!Hypnosis is a tool that can be used with all sorts of medical procedures.
It may seem hard to believe that hypnosis has been used on people for surgeries, even open heart surgery. That shows how powerful the mind can be.
It is used often for dental procedures. Some people use it to stay calm during dental procedures, so an emotional benefit. Some people will actually use hypnosis for anesthesia during dental procedures.
If it works for THAT, then hypnosis can totally work for birth.
Hypnosis works as an anesthesiaIf hypnosis can work for these invasive surgeries, than it can certainly work for birth, which is a natural event.
