In this short clip from the programme " Home grown babies " shown on UK Living , you see part of a HypnoBirthing session in progress and then you watch Nancy apply those relaxation techniques throughout her labour and during the birth itself .
You may have to rethink any ideas about childbirth being necessarily painful and traumatic, when you hear Nancy describe giving birth as " a lovely feeling ! " and when you see just how calmly she births baby Sid in the most peaceful, natural way possible, at home in a birth pool.
Afterwards, Nancy had this to say about the film:
" It's such a positive view of homebirth and HypnoBirthing, I really hope it inspires other women to make those choices. It demonstrates exactly how beneficial and crucial HypnoBirthing was to my experience. Everyone was really positive about HypnoBirthing and saw firsthand the benefits of it. They commented on how beautifully I was coping and how relaxed and calm I was. Apparently I didn't shout, moan or groan once ! If I had the energy for another baby, I'd definitely do it all again !! "
