Eating healthy just got even easier with these delicious Strawberry Basil Chicken Kabobs! There is a restaurant close to my husband’s work that makes turkey sandwiches made with balsamic vinegar glaze that I absolutely adore.

A Hypnobabies Natural Birth Story: Meet Jensen

July 10, 2016

Preparing for a natural birth can be daunting, even when you have delivered naturally successfully before. It can be unsettling mostly because every baby is different, every mother is different, and every birth brings it’s own tale; one that remains with you as a mother forever. You may forget what you were wearing, your favorite...

Congratulations! He is such a cutie ???? So true that as a Mum you never forget the births of your babies!ReplyCancel

  Right!? It is one of those “seared into your brain” kind of moments. Good thing the pain is so easily forgotten! 🙂ReplyCancel
Jensyn
THANK YOU for sharing your beautiful experience! you’re so right about how you never forget a birth or your own baby. I was reliving my own as I was reading yours. It is very comforting, knowing that there are women who can give birth naturally- for the most part pain free! I was not prepared to do a natural birth for my first baby – we’ll see about the future 😉

but I wanted to say biggest CONGRATULATIONS on Jensen, what a cutie. what a blessing to have a sweet new spirit in the home 🙂

xo, JensynReplyCancel

  You are so sweet! I am so glad you felt that way after reading my post because I want that message out there that it doesn’t have to be terrifying and scary! I am glad I was able to experience birth in different ways and build up to this approach. It made it possible to understand my pain tolerance, the way my body reacts to labor, and that I kind of knew what to expect.
  
  If you do ever consider it and have any questions I would be happy to answer them!ReplyCancel
Jenna

I can’t IMAGINE a virtually pain-free birth! I think I got this information six kids too late. This is awesome.ReplyCancel
- Camille Walker
  Ha ha! I literally laughed out loud at this! And wow! Six kids, my hat is off to you! I am so impressed by everything you share online about parenting and love watching you from the virtual sidelines now. You are an awesome mom.ReplyCancel

Loved reading this! It’s true how natural birth is still daunting even after you’ve done it before! I’m pregnant with our second baby and sometimes I lie awake at night just thinking about labor and how much it hurt. My husband and I took Bradley classes to prepare for “game day” and everything went well! But yeah, the pain is crazy! I’m contemplating on wether or not I should try hypnobirthing this time around. This video, especially the clips of you in labor, may have been my push to research more! Incredible 🙂ReplyCancel
- Camille Walker
  I cannot tell you how much of a difference it made when I prepped this way! I wish you all the best with your birthing day, there really is nothing in the world like it. And thank you for reading and sharing your support!ReplyCancel

Where can I find the tracks you mentioned? The hypnobabies website has so many. I’m not sure which set has the tracks you talk about here.ReplyCancel
- Camille Walker
  I listened to the ones that came in the set. Depending on the time of birth I was mostly listened to the calming one in the main set.ReplyCancel
