HypnoBirth story in February 2008's Pregnancy and Birth mag

Postby ockysmith » Thu Jan 03, 2008 7:43 pm

My own birth story (Sarah & Violet) is in the current Pregnancy and Birth magazine. They have made a big deal out of HypnoBirthing (it's even in the title :D ), though in true Pregnancy and Birth style they have misquoted me terribly and made up half of the story, e.g: at no point was I ever in horrific pain though they have quoted me as saying I was at one point, they also have the timings of the labour completely wrong, my daughter was actually born at ten TO one, not ten PAST as they have said (if this was the case her head would have been delivered for 20mins before her body - you'd have thought the journalist would have realised this :roll: ).

Anyway, on the whole I thought it was quite positive for HypnoBirthing, I was the only story this month (they do 3 per month) who didn't have any pain relief anyway :D .

There's also a really little comment from Lisa Jackson about HypnoBirthing in another article earlier in the magazine.

Misquoting

When you're the subject of an article it makes you realise how little we should rely on the accuracy of the media...

Well done on getting the article in though anyway.
