Positive birth stories

Happy Parents Happy Baby is committed to helping you have a positive birth experience, however your baby is born.

Thousands of parents join our courses every year and no two birth stories are the same.

On these pages you can read positive birth stories from our course graduates who have experienced home births, inductions, Caesarean (abdominal) births, water births, forceps, breach births, twins and multiple births and births using hypnobirthing.

We really hope that reading these stories will inspire you to know that a positive birth is something that you too can experience. You will also be able to pick up some super-helpful tips, as new parents share the things that made all the difference to their experience.

If you would like to share your positive birth story with us, please get in touch - we’d really love to hear from you.
