"The whole reason for sharing this video clip was to show that birth doesn't have to be painful and dramatic. Not feeling pain doesn't mean not feeling anything at all. There was a whole lot of sensations and emotions going on, but none of that was pain. So my calm state was both the reason and the result of how this birth went" Olya
Nancy's birth with baby Sid...
"I just think it's something that everyone that's pregnant should have the access to do. It's almost like going back to a very basic, primitive kind of childbirth. There's no 'tricks' in it. The words 'hypno birthing' make it sound maybe like something it's not, but it's basically reprogramming your brain not to be frightened of the whole process and to enjoy it... and to know that you can do it. That's the fundamental thing I found that really, really helped me. Within a few days after having Sid I really wanted to do it again because I'd enjoyed it so much! I wouldn't say it was easy, but it was quite close to it - it really was enjoyable." Nancy
