Lynsey McGillivray is a midwife, who trained as a hypnobirthing teacher shortly after graduation. She was used to seeing women birth on their backs in a haze of pain medication, until one day, her whole perspective changed.

Eilidh (Ay-Lee) Venning shares her two beautifully peaceful home birth stories. Originally from Scotland, she now lives in Cape Town, South Africa, where the birthing "norms" are very different. She was determined to have a natural home birth both times, and she did it well!
