√ Baby born in half an hour after full cervical dilation
√ Relax childbirth
√ Natural childbirth
√ No episiotomy
Before I became pregnant, I had already noticed Hypnobirthing-Gentle Baby. I thought to myself that if I ever became pregnant, I would definitely take a course with AuYong Sansan!
When my baby was just 38 weeks, they decided it was time to enter the world. That evening, I was still at home enjoying a meal of spicy hot pot 🙈. Halfway through, my water broke (I heard that eating spicy food can trigger labor, but I only had a mildly spicy version, which wasn’t really spicy at all!).
I remembered that Sansan mentioned waiting until contractions were regular before heading to the hospital, so I continued enjoying my dinner and silently counted the contractions. I planned to have a good rest before going to the hospital, but the incessant leaking amniotic fluid was like a spring of water 😂. I couldn’t stand, sit, or lie down comfortably; I had to change my pad every five minutes, making it impossible to rest!
So, I continued to rest as best as I could through the night and chose to go to the hospital despite the irregular contractions. When we arrived at the hospital, I was only dilated to 1 cm 😅. The long wait continued, but at least I could sleep peacefully knowing I wouldn’t be soaking the bed 🙈.
In the early morning, contractions became more noticeable, and I began a series of relaxation techniques and soothing positions. As my birth plan specified Hypnobirthing, I was able to move freely during the process, and the nurses cooperated by not disturbing us too much.
We even requested an internal examination ourselves to check on progress 😂.
Once I was fully dilated, I delivered smoothly within half an hour. However, I couldn’t handle the pressure during the final stage and pushed a few times, resulting in some minor tearing 🙈.
Fortunately, because there was no episiotomy, the recovery was swift. I was able to get up and walk around just an hour after delivery and easily used the restroom 🥳.
The entire process was smooth and pleasant for me, while my husband was quite nervous and flustered. I ended up constantly reassuring him to stay calm 😂. I’m not sure who was supposed to be giving birth here!
I am truly grateful to have met Sansan and to have taken the Hypnobirthing course. It made my birthing experience smooth and pleasant, overturning the dramatic childbirth process I had imagined. She was patient and supportive throughout my pregnancy, providing reassurance and confidence. She also helped me with a fear release session before labor, allowing me to deliver smoothly without worry or fear ❤️.
For those who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, you should definitely consider taking Sansan’s course! She also offers private sessions that can perfectly fit into your busy schedule!

【Mentor’s Note】
I remember Giana being particularly calm during our classes. Later, I realized that beneath that calm exterior, there were indeed moments of inner turbulence. I suppose it was because she was very clear about what she wanted, which allowed her to remain composed regardless of the circumstances.
From pregnancy to delivery, she remained consistent in her calm demeanor.
Reading her birth story, where she mentioned continuously reassuring her partner during labor, reminded me of their interactions in class.
I am deeply grateful to accompany such expecting families on their journey to welcoming their little ones. This is something I, as a gentle birthing mentor, cherish with gratitude.
