"Positive homebirth"

About: Bunbury Hospital / Maternity Positive Birth Program

(as the patient),

Our 2nd birth was simply the greatest!!

Of course, not everything went to plan but it could not have gone more smoothly. 

It went exactly like the first story in the Hypnobirthing Australia™ Positive Birth Program with WACHS Telehealth. The cat and her kittens, birthing in the quite dark of a comfortable space.

Attending the course for the second time as a refresher was a great decision. I was in such a relaxed state of meditation that I lost all track of time and intensity. Surge of the Sea is my jam. I heard it for my first pregnancy and had it on repeat for 2-3+ hours this time. I'd been for an ocean swim the morning of labour so I connected very easily.

I laboured quietly alone, while my partner and toddler slept. It was such a surreal experience! During my meditation, my girlfriend/unofficial doula and my previous MGP midwife both appeared in my mind, supporting me. Replaying experiences we'd shared that were perfect for what I was feeling!

The MGP team and services of Bunbury really are a gold standard. Many many thanks to Priscilla for her care during my pregnancy and Jo for her time at my birth. The aftercare from Amy was so comforting. I also had a student Bre come along on my journey. She was fantastic and being a busy mum herself so relatable.

Thank you so much for providing the education for me to have two amazing positive births
