When my wife got pregnant we signed up for Hypnobabies to attempt a natural birth.  I was initially a little skeptical of the whole thing, but it was the best thing we did for the birth of our child.  She succeeded in having our son naturally with the help of the techniques and research that we learned about during our weeks of Hypnobabies classes.  It’s about 6 weeks of classes, during which every topic imaginable is covered, so by the time you’re close to the due date, you’re quite knowledgable about many of the issues surrounding childbirth, pregnancy, breast feeding, medical interventions, etc etc.  With what we learned, we were able to make truly informed decisions about our boy’s birth and Lorraine was very knowledgeable as our instructor!

My husband and I took the Hypnobabies 6 week course on Saturdays with Lorraine at the Prenatal Education Center. I must say it’s the best thing I have done to prepare for birth. Lorraine was very thorough and clear in her teaching. She gave us lots of great resources to inform ourselves of different birth practices so we could make our own choice. I loved all the reading that was provided and the hypnobabies CD’s to practice meditation. My husband and I had tons of questions throughout the classes and she was always so patient to answer everything. She showed us partner exercises to do when in labor, which was something we had asked if she could do, I’m not sure this was part of the class but she went above and beyond to teach us. I’m happy we did this class rather than the hospital class because my husband and I have noticed how much more informed we are than the rest of our friends who are also having babies. We feel very education and confident in the informed decisions we have made. I will be giving birth in a few weeks and my plan is to go through it as natural as possible practicing my hypnosis sessions. Thank you so much Lorraine!! You are the best!
