Watch this mama give birth at home while practicing hypnobirthing, which focuses on specific relaxation and calming techniques that help manage pain during labor.

“I remember how calm and relaxed the mom was. During the labor, classical music was playing and she moved to the music. I know other women who have tried hypnobirthing, and they weren’t impressed, but she mastered it. I believe it’s really important to not compare birth stories. Every woman is free to express herself during labor; there is no competition, you can scream or you can be calm.”
