Natural Birth
Why did I experience painless births?

First reason - from sports
The biggest advantage I believe I had was that I knew my body.
I played tennis when I was younger, and later spent many years doing fitness training. Through exercise, I learned the power of the mind to carry the body through difficult physical challenges, usually using work intervals ranging from 20 seconds to 3 full minutes of continuous effort.
Labor contractions are very similar. They also come in intervals, with periods of work followed by periods of rest.
I trained my mind to associate labor with something familiar. If I had already been able to push through intense workouts and complete challenging intervals—even during sessions so demanding that they brought me close to nausea and dizziness—then birth could not be harder than that. I installed this belief in my head by repeating this over and over.
From sports, I also knew my heart. I understood how it responds to physical effort. I knew that my heart could safely reach 180 beats per minute and still function perfectly well. I knew from experience that my body could handle high levels of intensity without any problem.
So when my doctor occasionally mentioned that my blood pressure was elevated— usually only in her office, while it was normal everywhere else— I didn’t become frightened or start believing that my body wouldn’t be able to handle a natural birth.
I already knew what my body was capable of, and that knowledge gave me confidence.
The third major advantage I gained from sports was my breathing.
After years of interval training, my breathing was already highly developed. During the final seconds of a difficult set, when my muscles felt like they couldn’t continue, didn’t want to continue, and were begging me to stop, I had learned to focus entirely on my breath.
And something remarkable would happen.
The moment my attention shifted completely to my breathing, the sensations coming from my body seemed to fade away.
That same skill became incredibly valuable during labor.
Second reason - complete & correct information
The second reason I had pain-free births is that I “woke up” early enough.
For me, it happened during the seventh month of my first pregnancy.
Too many mothers wake up only after their first birth—if that birth wasn’t so traumatic that they no longer want any more children.
After months of signs that something felt completely wrong with the medical system’s approach to birth, I became desperate. One day, after returning home from yet another prenatal appointment, I searched Google for “natural birth.”
That’s when I found a birth course by Ditta in my country. The information I searched for was WHERE can i give birth the way I wanted. I recommend any type of course you can find, wholeheartedly if you don’t feel that my course or books are the right fit for you.
And I went.
That was in addition to all the books I had already read about birth—the usual ones: Hypnobirthing, Ina May’s Guide to Childbirth, and many others I had ordered from Amazon on my Kindle.
So what made the difference?
A birth course and books.
Because of that education, I knew that a cord around the baby’s neck, low amniotic fluid, an aging placenta, a large baby, high blood pressure, gestational diabetes, a long and closed cervix, and many other situations are not automatically reasons to fool me into an induction or a cesarean section.
I understood that every situation needs to be evaluated individually, based on the actual condition of the mother and baby—not simply because a protocol says that a certain intervention should happen.
The THIRD reason - I DIDN’T GIVE UP
The third reason is that I never gave up on my desire to have a natural birth.
And for me, natural birth does not simply mean vaginal birth.
Because far too often, “vaginal birth” still means a highly medicalized birth, with some form of intervention involved.
I wanted SOMETHING ELSE.
I wanted a birth that unfolded as naturally as possible, with minimal interference and with trust in the process.
And when I realised that the environment I wanted wasn’t available where I lived, I didn’t accept that as a limitation.
If achieving the birth I wanted meant traveling to another city, then that’s what I did.
I was not willing to let geography, convenience, or other people’s expectations decide how I would give birth.
When something truly matters to you, you stop asking whether it is possible and start asking what it would take to make it happen.
My desire for a natural birth was stronger than the obstacles standing in the way of it.
SO
So, with two books in my first pregnancy, one birth course, the neural connections I had created in my mind about what birth could feel like, affirmations, and positive birth stories, I was able to have my first pain-free birth during labor.
Yes, there were details that didn’t go exactly the way I wanted. You can read the full story on my website.
But the way it felt?
It was wonderful.
The parts I didn’t like became lessons for my next birth.
I corrected them through even more education, preparation, and practice.
And my second birth was everything I had hoped for.
By the time I reached my third birth, I had built enough confidence and worked through another layer of fears that I felt comfortable giving birth at home, while my first two births had taken place in a hospital.
Each birth taught me something.
Each birth helped me refine my preparation, strengthen my trust, and deepen my understanding of the process.
And each birth became easier because I was willing to learn, adapt, and continue growing rather than simply accepting the results of the previous one.
WHY WERE MY BIRTH PAINLESS
Why did I give birth without pain?
The reason is simple: all the information, preparation, and training created a state of deep relaxation—the very state that supports the easiest kind of natural birth.
And that is exactly the journey I guide women through inside Birth Mastery.
First, we focus on complete and accurate information so we can remove fear. Because the truth is that it is not your doctor’s or midwife’s job to spend hours explaining birth physiology, interventions, options, and the many variations of normal.
Fear often comes from uncertainty.
The more you understand what is happening in your body, the calmer and more confident you become.
Then we move into specific preparation exercises that you can practice at home—the same ones I used myself.
These exercises help strengthen trust in your body through direct experience. They teach you how to create sensations of confidence, calm, and capability, allowing you to associate birth with something natural, manageable, and even beautiful.
We also work on installing automatic relaxation responses, so that relaxation becomes your body’s default state rather than tension.
And then comes repetition.
Through affirmations, visualizations, positive birth stories, and inspiring birth videos, we help create the new neural pathways your mind needs to support a different birth experience.
Because every thought you repeat, every image you rehearse, and every emotion you practice becomes part of the story your mind expects.
And when the day of birth arrives, you are no longer stepping into the unknown.
You are stepping into a reality you have already rehearsed hundreds of times in your mind.
A reality that is calm.
A reality that feels safe.
A reality that supports the unique birth experience you want to create for yourself and your baby.
