“It’s really funny how pregnancy throws curveballs at you. When you had previously read us those lovely stories of how HypnoBirthing had worked for some couples either through adversity or just as a tool for birth, I genuinely couldn’t imagine us being in a situation where hypnosis would be *so* helpful.

But since our Sunday chat and the new specific scripts (and I think on her behalf a renewed belief and understanding of how hypnosis can help a very hospital related experience), Ginny has been much calmer and generally more up than down. Sure, could be the drugs, could be her mind over matter, could be whatever. But I’m pretty damn sure a seriously significant slab of her demeanour, if not all of it, is the hypnobirthing. The confidence and belief and element of control over the situation is hugely beneficial. And I’m even listening to them after her as well and I’m loving them! So, er, in shorter fashion: thanks!”
