  • When I was pregnant I watched a few positive birth stories on TH-cam and it really helped me feel more confident about the prospect of labour, so I wanted to share my story too incase it can help someone else.
    My birth plan was to do everything as natural as possible, use hypnobirthing techniques, and have a water birth. I forgot to add a couple of details in the story like how I wrote a VERY detailed birth plan (lol!) and my waters went very late on when I was already in the birthing pool.
    I'm so grateful to God, the positive birth company, everyone who shared their positive birth stories before, our wonderful midwife and of course my husband who was absolutely incredible throughout!

    Praise be to God, thank you for sharing your story and I loved how your labour started after your husband prayed over you ❤

    Positive videos like this are so helpful to first time mums. I'm 27 too and have only ever heard horror stories from family members! Thanks so much for sharing such an intimate story, it can't have been easy but you are helping so many x

    Thank you for adding to the positive birth stories out there! I’m 37+3 now and so excited to be able to give birth to my little girl 💕 I’m also hoping for a water birth with only gas and air if needed so 🤞🏽 I hope it goes my way!! xx

    I loved this. Thank you for sharing. My husband and I also did hypnobirthing for our first and we had a wonderful birthing experience too despite being 42 weeks and giving birth to a 9lb 6 baby! He's 20 months now and I still have yet to write the birthing story but positive birth stories are so needed for mummas!

    I live in Canada and also feel so grateful for free healthcare 😍 Thank you for sharing your positive birth experience!!! I'm 36 weeks pregnant and I am opting for a natural birth. We really have the best working for us when we put our trust in God right? ❤ Gives me an increase in faith listening to your story. So thank you! Btw your babe is SOOOOOO adorable! Awww. I am also having a baby boy! 🤱💙

    See videos like this are so beyond helpful. I’ve done the hypnobirthing course and I feel like I’m conditioned to believe that ALL first time mum’s HAVE to be induced and then ALWAYS go on to have long, traumatising births. This gives me such hope I’ll get my dream of a water birth 🥵💖🥵💖

      Thankyou! It is the weirdest thing because I don’t feel like I can compare it to anything that i’ve felt before. I don’t feel like pain is the right word, because it’s not something that’s being inflicted upon you - it’s your own body doing what it is designed to do! It’s not comfortable of course, but I think it’s like a completely new experience and feeling that can’t really be described. It’s incredible to think we have the strength within us to do it! Our bodies are capable of so much! Sorry that’s probably not super helpful lol!x
