Australian Mom’s Positive Hypnobirthing Hospital Birth with Gestational Diabetes

Sarah was diagnosed with gestational diabetes during her first pregnancy. Her waters broke naturally at 39+1 and her baby girl was born in hospital 18 hours later. Sarah studied hypnobirthing to prepare for the birth and despite her GD making her a higher risk pregnancy and causing her and baby to be continuously monitored, she was able to have a calm and natural birth without interventions. She ended up giving birth standing up in the hospital bathroom and was able to pull bub out herself (with support from the midwife).
