I was preparing for the natural birth of my baby girl and I knew I needed good psychological support and reassurance to be able to do it myself. Because I was feeling scared of the unknown process of birth and unsure in my abilities to manage it after the elective c-section with my first child. So me and my husband attended Hypnobirthing classes with Brenda last January. It was the best decision I have ever made.
Vaginal Birth After C-Section (VBAC)
The atmosphere in the class was peaceful and the calming voice of Brenda was so soothing. She has a brilliant energy and a nice manner of explaining the birthing process in a great detail. But the most important thing was that Brenda managed to empower me in my own ability as a woman to give natural birth using helpful techniques of breathing, relaxation and affirmations.When my surges arrived I was mentally, psychologically and emotionally prepared and I was happy to stay home through the fist stage of labour with the comfort of my own bed, shower and bath all due to the Hypnobirthing techniques. As a result I had a non medicated birth with a bit of help of gas and air and a TENS machine.
Our baby daughter Ariana arrived 3 hours later on the 18 of March 2016. I would recommend Brenda`s classes to any mom who is unsure or scared or just would like to attend an antenatal class which is different to the usual formal ones held in hospitals.
