Positive birth stories

At Happy Parents Happy Baby, we’re here to help you have a positive birth – no matter how your baby arrives.

Every year, thousands of parents take our courses, and no two stories are the same. On these pages, you’ll find real birth stories from our graduates, including homebirths, inductions, Caesarean, water births, twins, breech births, hypnobirthing and more.

We hope these stories inspire you and offer helpful tips for your own journey.
