Testimonial for Camille Fiori BS, IBCLC, CD(DONA), HCHI, HCHD, AdvNCS(NCSA)
I had such a great experience taking Hypnobabies from Camille Fiori. I was apprehensive about childbirth, and I wanted to feel more ‘in control’ during the experience – I was hoping not to use an epidural, but I had no idea what class to take. My OB recommended Hypnobabies, and I found Camille Fiori through a contact at the Hypnobabies website.
The night of the first class my husband and I had very busy days at work, and we were a bit stressed before the class began – but after we did our first “blue exercise” and started taking deep breaths and relaxing, the day melted away and it felt so good to be in class.
My husband and I really looked forward to Camille’s classes every week. My husband especially was very nervous about me giving birth (he hates hospitals), but the classes calmed him down and made him feel prepared for the big day. And he was my hero by my side!
Camille kept saying that students who study hypnobabies have shorter births – I wanted to believe her but had no expectations. I went into labor at home at 11pm – I knew just what to do and kept listening to my hypnobabies tracks during the night, changing positions like she had told us to do, and just breathing deeply. We arrived at the hospital at 5am and my son was born at 11am!
All the doctors and nurses were very impressed with how calm I seemed. And while I will admit I did not feel as calm on the inside, listening to hypnobabies throughout my birthing time was a wonderful way to focus during my birth. And best yet, I did have the natural birth I wanted!
I cannot say enough for the class! While hypnobabies is a really big commitment, and I found it was important to consult with my OB on some of the more natural recommendations that hypnobabies suggests, it’s well worth it. You learn a ton, put birth into a positive light and don’t feel nervous about your birthing time!
