"Your responsible for the stress you cause yourself". This is a phrase everyone should know whether they are pregnant or not! Thanks for sharing!

I wish I stumbled upon this at 2am last night 😅 I have a “low laying” placenta at 34 weeks. I usually go to 42 weeks gestation with my babies. Hopefully that’ll be enough time 🤞

Thank you very much for your important work! I nearly phoned you during my second pregnancy, as you shared your number online. But unfortunately lost it. I studied medicine and before that I wanted to become a midwife. But after practical experiences in the hospital I decided otherwise. What a difficult time for humanKIND and mothers, men, babies and midwifes. Both my children were born at home. The first birth lasted three days and was very exhausting. My second birth in a birthing-tub was really fast. My midwife didn't make it intime then :-) Both births were intense, insanely painful, but empowering, funny and lovely. The pain was the worst that I ever experienced. And I have a medical history of cancer, auto-immune disease, gallbladder stones, kidney stones, severe toothe-infections...but even though it was very painfull, it was ok and made us as a family stronger. Your explanation of thinking "up up up" during start of labour helped me alot :-) I was born with an emergency c-section. My heartbeat dropped under 30/min. Afterwards my mother was diagnosed with a long spine and hip deformity. I would not have been able to come out. lots of love...

I have purchased your book off audible recently. I am hoping to gain some peace and confidence to ready myself for labor.

I have low lying placenta at 25 weeks and this scared me at first but knowing as my baby grows along with my uterus. My child could and will move the placenta out of the way.

Here for my 3rd, im on my second trimester. I got to know kg hypnobirthing for my 2nd ( was an empowering vbac). ❤❤❤ I intend to have a smooth, enjoyable, relaxing natural birth for my 3rd.

Thank you for trying

Thank you grand ma

Everything we do in KG Hypnobirthing keeps the tools we give you as simple as possible. This is important, so they can become second nature. The last thig we want is that you are 'trying' to remember things when you give birth.

Thank you so much. All other Hypnobirting breathing technique Videos stressed me with the counting and I automatically started tensing. With your Up and Down Breathing videos I am calmed and relaxed and the fear is gone. Loads of love xx

Handsome blond guy, wow.

Thanks a lot for providing such a beautiful and valuable content... That too for free

Cool thanks so much to me know thanks

Thank you for your kind words. It is an amazing privilege to teach KG Hypnobirthing and see the difference it makes to people's lives, isn't it? Even if you are no longer a practising midwife, why don't you teach kgh privately? You still get that great feeling. I'm sure the work you did rubbed off on your colleagues and made subtle but important changes in your unit.

I was a Katharine Graves hypnobirthing midwife for many years. I retired just before my 70th birthday with a lot of wonderful memories and stories of beautiful births. I really miss the privilege and honour of attending these mother's and fathers at a most rewarding and exciting time. Which was during the birth of their baby. Seeing the joy and pride on their faces of what had been gently achieved was truly amazing. The delight of the mother holding baby in a calm and peaceful place was such a fulfilling reward. Not only for the parents but myself too. How I miss those halcyon days but the long shifts and old bones did not bode well. May you long continue to guide and support those who attend your classes. Much the same as you did when I attended your class in Manchester. Much love, peace, calm and happy hypnobirthing to all. With heartfelt thanks. Anne xx

What if one is diagnosed with Placenta Previa which is 100% covering the OS?

Thank you so much for sharing this information I live in Romania where assisted home births are illegal (if you can imagine that) therefore i did not find a midwife to come and assist me so i will go ahead with my homebirth plan nonetheless. your videos and meditations are tremendously helpful and i thank you deeply

I’m turning 40 this year and I’m scared to have kids I don’t know if I’m scared to be pregnant or to be a parent in general I appreciate this video a lot

Thank you for your videos and sharing of your knowledge. I have a low risk pregnancy and I'm due in 2 days. In the hospital they seem to want to induce my labour because i had covid 3 months ago and no real issues came from it. I have been saying no to them and last week doctor said she wouldn't let it go past 41 weeks. I really don't want to be induced unless medically necessary, is there any advice you could give as to how to fight of induction? Best wishes, Karla

Thank you for your videos. Funnily enough my midwife insisted I was due a few weeks from now on the 15th of April. And I told her, no I think more towards the end of April, and on my last appointment she agreed with me. 😂

Thank you so much mam

Can jump rope be helpful?

Thank you so much 💓 I'm relieved😌

The reason there is no counting for the up breathing is that everyone is different and, as you have found, you can be different at different times. If you are taught a count, even if the person says there is no need to stick to it, subconsciously you will try to reach it an then you tense up. When you tense up you produce adrenaline which inhibits the production of oxytocin and oxytocin is needed for the progress of labour. The images that go with the breathing making it more effective, work with your body, and help labour to progress better. KGHypnobirthing is logical and works well!

I started counting something like 4 in 6 out. Later that became 2 in, 3 out. Later, 1 in 2 out. Eventually it was just rhythmic panting, and finally it ended up as rhythmic vocalisation. It was really the counting and rhythm that helped me rather than any particular number!

Thank you 🙏 ❤️

I tried downloading the sheets but I couldn't. Its repeatedly giving an error message that email id is incorrect. However that's not the case. I have registered for the online course as well. Kindly help

Hopefull talk 😍

I have a question ma'am regarding altrasound result, anterior placenta grade2 high lying it is good for viginal delivery

Had my first child at 47 and had non of these issues. No stretch marks. Loved pregnancy. I was pregnant 3 times before and lost them never making it passed 9 weeks, so I didn't really experience morning sickness either except with my first child's full term but again it was mild. My 2nd child at 49 the only difference was more morning sickness in my first trimester. It more intense but after that by 2nd Tri I felt normal. I take 1 nap a day as usual and play with my toddler. Overall no high blood pressure, no fluid retention, no bloating, no joint pains, and no Gest. diabetes. I'm not sure these issues are age related as my doctor said (to my surprise) that many 20 year olds have high blood pressure or complications and that every pregnancy for woman having multiple children will feel different at any age. Now that we are considering a 3rd child at 51 I'm inclined to just follow the labs and data and forget the age idea as I'm no showcasing any of these "traditional" worries. I will say I was vegetarian for 12 years before my first child. Not sure if that also has anything to do with it? But I certainly don't feel my age. I feel 33. I had a C section b/c upon induction I never dilated but I was making breakfast and recovered within2 weeks after delivery. I kept pushing myself to walk and push through the discomfort so now I'm currently looking forward to my next delivery. Hope this helps other women. Age may not be related as much as good health.

I receieved mine in the post this week. Literally on the final chapter, I cant put it down! Pregnant with my first baby, and sooo excited for his birth! Circumstances changed to my original birth plan and place due to the recent crisis, so have to give birth at local hospital, but still feeling relaxed and excited for it, as im well prepared from all ive been learning and practicing through hypnobirthing 🎉🎉 thankyou so much

this is the most helpful calming and reassuringly pleasant explanation I’ve found across this entire platform, THANK YOU SO MUCH for putting my worries to bed 💫🤰🏾💕💕💕🥺

Why is it poor practise to unwind the cord before the rest of the body is born? Is it true any direction a baby comes out?

You are so nice

I m in 15 week so worried facing bleeding with low lying placenta 😓

Fantastic video, also just realised it's my picture in the title screen form my first baby homebirth 🥰

I love the comments from so many wonderful people. Thank you.

Katherine, thank you so much for reaching out. We just entered the third trimester. We bought your audio book and have gotten through most of it and even my husband is more on board. You appealed to his logical mind. I’m getting more excited about welcoming baby girl and I feel at peace at her entrance.
