When we ask our lovely pregnant course attendees and their birth partners how they feel about the birth, 'scared' or 'anxious' seems to be the most immediate response. Even before 'excited' or 'curious' has a chance to come to mind. Katie and Tasha share the reasons behind why we have come to fear a process as natural as blinking or breathing.

We share all the wonderful things our birth partners did for us during our labours. This was all possible because they did their research, came to (antenatal) class and learnt all about our birth preferences. Hypnobirthing was definitely integral to our birth partner's being everything we needed them to be.
