BIRTH STORIES

We have lots of birth stories given to us by our mothers over the years. We obviously can't put them all here, but we hope that you enjoy this selection.

The stories have been grouped into sections; however, this grouping is very rough as many of the stories fit in a number of different categories so feel free to browse through them all.

Birth story of the Month - 24th April 2008

Dear Gowri,

Just letting you know our little baby boy arrived safely into the world at 22.10 on Thursday 24th April 2008 weighing in at a whopping 9lb 7oz! I cannot thank you enough for all the support you have given me throughout all my three pregnancies. Your vision for the gentle birth method is truly inspiring and I only wish all women could experience it.

THE JEYARANI METHOD IN GENERAL

Ellie’s Story

We had a bit of a false start with our third birth, getting mild but regular contractions for 6 hours and getting ready to go to hospital when they were coming every 7 minutes. We lay down on our bed thinking we would rest a bit until they picked up in intensity and the next thing we knew it was the morning and we were not in hospital.

Melinda’s Story

I write to tell you about the birth of my daughter Nell Bang on her due date of the 2nd July. Three hours from start to Finish! I was crying out for an Epidural, it has to be said, because the contractions came thick and fast but the anathetist was otherwise engaged! Out she came at top speed in 3 pushes -lots of dark hair and simply gorgeous.

Thank you Gowri for all your help & support - no episitomy, no tears, no stiches. I was thrilled. Please thank Kasia & Debbie for me too.

Lots of love
Melinda Stevens

Andrea’s Story

Andrea wants her birth story to be an inspiration to other expectant mothers.  She wants everyone to know that if they stick to the whole programme it will pay dividends in feeling energised and healthy throughout pregnancy and then the birth itself will be quick and pain free. “If you really believe it, it will be the birth you really want and deserve.” Full Story »

Christine’s Story

Christine used Self-hypnosis and Visualisation and found that she dilated quickly and felt in control of the labour.  She believes that the Self-hypnosis together with the Reflexology and Creative Healing greatly assisted in the birth process. Full Story »

Dianna’s Story

During pregnancy Dianna particularly enjoyed the Self-hypnosis and Visualisation classes and then used the images she had learnt to help her have a pain-relief-free birth.  She also acknowledges yoga and the “very reasonable” dietary advice for her successful delivery. Full Story »

Gabby’s Story

This story tells how “The Jeyarani Way” treatments helped during pregnancy.  It also shows the effectiveness of the Self-hypnosis and Visualisation audiotape and how it can help during labour.  Gabby felt empowered by the birth experience. Full Story »

Nicky’s Story

After a difficult first birth Nicky came to Gowri and was put on “The Jeyarani Way” Gentle Birth Method programme.  This time she felt prepared for birth and went on to have a “wonderful birth experience”.  She believes in Gowri and her programme, as she is an expert in both conventional and complementary medicine. Full Story »

Pasha’s Story

Pasha describes in her own words how her births were “true joy” and totally pain-free using the Jeyarani Method.  Pasha had waterbirths. Full Story »


WATERBIRTH

Louise’s Story

Louise describes her “magical” waterbirth, during which she felt grounded, calm and able to cope.  She strongly believes in “The Jeyarani Way” Gentle Birth Method and says that the care that the team gave her helped transform her fears about her own capabilities and gave her the opportunity to realise their dream. Full Story »

Rosemary’s Story

Rosemary developed gestational diabetes, which was treated with Creative healing.   She worked hard for a good birth following “The Jeyarani Way” Gentle Birth Method and went on to have a home water birth, which was a “positive experience”. Full Story »

Sally’s story

Sally found that being in “another place” was good for her during labour.  She had a water-birth and found that the contractions felt entirely different in water. Full Story »


SELF-HYPNOSIS & VISUALISATION

Philippa’s Story

The positive magical birth of baby Otis during a lunar eclipse, using self-hypnosis and visualisation. Andrea’s Story – (the birth of Gemma): This home birth illustrates the importance of remaining in a state of self-hypnosis and in a hypnotic state.  Gemma decided to lie sideways when being born rather than facing the backbone and Andrea had to learn not to panic and believe that she could deliver.  This story also shows how important the partner can be in helping the mother remain in control. Full Story »

Carol’s Story

After an induction, epidural and forceps delivery of her first baby, Carol was amazed to find that she “enjoyed” giving birth to her second child.  Although initially sceptical about self-hypnosis she found it invaluable during labour, and realised that her body and baby know what to do, and there is nothing to fear but fear itself. Full Story »

Uma’s Story

The empowering birth of Abhisheka using self-hypnosis.  This story also illustrates the importance of feeling in control of your surroundings and being able to give your complete attention to the birth. Full Story »

Rosie’s Story:

Rosie wants to highlight the importance of early conditioning using Self-hypnosis and Visualisation.  Starting as early as possible in pregnancy gives you more of a chance to become an expert at the technique for labour.  Rosie also feels that she did her homework, following the dietary guidelines, having treatments and so on, so that she was ready for labour.

THE ROLE OF THE PARTNER 

Claire’s Story

Not all mother’s walk into the hospital backwards but this is what Claire did! This lovely story illustrates the importance of partners during labour – as a companion and support and shows how “distracting” the mother is not always what is required! Full Story »


INTERVENTION 

Katrina’s Story

Katrina had been told that she would never have children so she was a bit surprised to find that she had become pregnant after some Creative healing for abdominal pain!  After being induced she had a c-section but does not regret going on the programme.  Like other Jeyarani mothers she has found her son, Ben, to be alert but calm – due perhaps to her connecting to him through the treatments and self-hypnosis and visualisation.

This story illustrates how the programme can help a pregnant mother who then goes on to have a caesarean delivery. Full Story »
