Affirmations for Induction

Affirmations are an important, and I believe, often underrated, part of hypnobirthing. They are a great way to deal with fears head on. There are three main rules for affirmations, they should be positive, present tense and personal. Often the third part is neglected, I know it’s easier to listen to an affirmation track, but it’s good to reflect on whether the ones you’re working with are a good fit for you. Sometimes when...

Keriann’s Induction due to Gestational Hypertension

My doctor wanted to induce at 37 weeks due to gestational hypertension. I asked if we could do 37 + 1 because the 37 week mark was my son’s second birthday. As fate would have it, my blood pressure spiked the morning of my son’s birthday and we had to go to the hospital that day anyways. It was a busy day there so I spent about nine hours in triage before they decided...

Beth’s Positive Induction Story due to GD

I started the positive birth company early in pregnancy as I knew that hypnobirthing was something I really wanted to do. I also purchased the book to read too as sometimes things stick more when I read them! I had a really straight forward pregnancy from the onset but fast forward to 28 weeks and the diagnosis of the GD things obvs changed. I knew I’d be induced and already got my head around...

He weighed 7lbs 12oz...

Kirsty’s Story

My second birth was a very different experience from my first birth. My first baby was born at 41.3 weeks. I expected that this pregnancy would be similar, however, I had an induction at 36+2 weeks due to intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). I had been monitored weekly from 32 weeks with doppler scans and ultrasounds. While they never commented on there being an issue with the cord blood flow, they were concerned that baby’s weight...

5 Things to do during a ‘Boring’ Induction

It’s not uncommon for induction to take a while to get started, especially if your body isn’t showing any sign of things starting up beforehand or if you’ve not reached your due date yet. Although things can start up quickly, many mums find themselves with what they describe as a rather boring day or two waiting for induction to kick in properly. So I wanted to share with you some things you can do...

Natalie’s Story

Before I start with my birth story, there may be parts that don’t seem particularly ‘positive’. HOWEVER- I have nothing but positive feelings and memories for my labour and birth. I felt safe, in control, listened to, cared for, cared about. I felt absolutely like I was in the right place, doing the right thing and in the right hands. It’s long so apologies. Early into the pregnancy with my first baby, I was...
