My name is Anna and I have given birth twice. On paper the two births probably look quite similar but for me one was traumatising, and left me with permanent damage to my coccyx, the other a fantastic and euphoric experience. Which one do you think was natures design?

I did not think hypnobirthing was something for me the first time I heard about it. But, during my second pregnancy a friend talked me into trying it out. It was the best thing I ever did, and it is now my goal to introduce hypnobirthing in Denmark. I have trained with KGH, accredited by the Royal College of Midwifes in the UK, and am excited to help other birthing people achieve positive birth experiences.

In the UK hypnobirthing is now so common that many midwifes, and some obstetricians, have trained themselves. I experienced this when we arrived at the birth suite last time and said to the midwife that we were practising hypnobirthing. The midwife responded, ‘’How fantastic, sounds like we are gonna have a really good time’’, and so we did.
