"Hypnobirthing classes"

Prior to the birth of my baby, I attended the positive hypnobirthing classes via Zoom. Having the opportunity to attend the classes via Zoom was a nice option as I didn’t have to travel to the hospital and I could be warm and comfortable in my own environment.

I felt the classes were very informative and gave some great techniques but unfortunately they didn’t all work for me. I also feel Kasey was a great source of knowledge but it did feel a little one sided, in my opinion.

Unfortunately, my birth was nothing like those shown in the videos, it was not calm and relaxed, it was loud and had a few speed bumps. I feel the hypnobirthing classes do not give an overall view of birthing, it’s a hard situation as you don’t want to show a traumatic birth as it could scare new mothers; but I feel I was not shown a realistic view of a birth. 

I feel some new mothers may be disappointed in themselves if they don’t have a birth such as those shown on the videos. Overall, the classes were great but to improve them I feel they need to show a little more of the other side of birthing, not just the calm, relaxed, easy birth.
