I had my baby on March 15, and although I was already recommending hypnobirthing and your class before I gave birth, I am even more so now. And the more time that goes by, the more I am so happy with our birth experience. Especially after I spent more time talking with my husband and doula to learn the real time-line of how the morning went. I had only an 8 1/2 hour labor, and dilated from 3.5 to 10 cm +1 in just 2 hours. In that time, only once or twice did I feel what I would classify as pain and that was when I had been roused from my focused state to be attached to or detached from the monitors. Otherwise, my husband told me I just looked like I was sleeping (quite a long and boring morning for him, even though he was by my side doing light-touch massage and reading scripts for hours). I found that my ability to stay in a focused state - learned through the hypnobirthing class and practice - and knowing how to work with my body is what helped me move through such a quick labor relatively easily.
 
I also had a friend who did the hypnobabies home study course, and delivered just 2 days before me. We compared births, and although we had many similarities in regards to the pain management aspect of self hypnosis, you included so much more general childbirth education, that I felt I had a better handle on understanding the process and making the best decisions about our birth before and during the process. The information you provided in class also helped us to prepare, and I feel to avoid a different birth outcome. Baby was not quite in the right position and because of what you taught in class, I was able to identify that through my contraction pattern. I did positioning at home and at the hospital to get him moved into the right position without any medical intervention or complications.  It was truly a great experience!
