"Hypnobirthing and how it helped"

I completed the hypnobirthing/positive birthing program via zoom with Kasey and Mikayla when I was 30weeks into my pregnancy. While the course caters to all different desires I took away what I wanted to implement in my birth and was so grateful I completed the course. I gave birth to my beautiful baby boy at 41 weeks gestation. I was in early stages of labour for 30+ hours. Turns out my son was wrapped in his cord so I was dilating like I should have.

Once I was in the hospital, had the epidural and was induced things went along smoothly until it was time to push. We didn’t know then that my son was wrapped in his cord until with every push the cord was constricting my sons blood flow and his heart rate was dropping. It went from 2 midwives in the room with my partner and I to obstetricians, paediatricians and a bunch more midwives. The calm delivery I was hoping for went out the window pretty quickly. I delivered my son but due to his cord being wrapped around his neck he was flat, blue and unresponsive. So he needed help to get things going and ended up spending some time in the neonatal intensive care unit. He is healthy and doing all the things newborns should be doing now which is amazing.

I have to thank Kasey and Mikayla for giving me the tools and knowledge to handle a traumatic birth. Even though it wasn’t all roses I am still so grateful that I got to birth my son safely and be ok with it. I was never educated on the fact that apparently 1 in 3 women experience birth trauma. The positive birthing program has helped me process everything that happened at the delivery and immediately after in a healthy way, and has helped me support my partner through that as well.

So thankyou Kasey and Mikayla! I highly recommend this course to any parent, whether you are first time or fourth time!
