Positive Birth Story at 42 + 5 weeks at Preston Royal Hospital
If you’ve ever been told “they won’t let you go over,” this birth story is a must-read. Michelle went all the way to 42+5, and instead of giving in to the pressure of hospital policies and constant “when’s the induction?” messages, she stood firm. She protected her boundaries, trusted her baby, and made the choices that felt right for her and her family. With Liam by her side, she welcomed Myles in a spontaneous labour that proved being “overdue” just means your body isn’t ready yet - and that even with a forceps birth, you can walk away feeling powerful, proud, and confident.
Meet Eleanor
Hey I’m Eleanor,
I’m an experienced Hypnobirthing teacher, psychology grad and the founder of Birth With Choice.
If you’re feeling a bit nervous (or even terrified) about giving birth… you’re not alone. I’ve been there too.
When I was pregnant with my little boy, I craved a course that didn’t just tell me what might happen during labour – I wanted something that helped me understand how I felt about it all, and how to feel ready.
That’s when I found Hypnobirthing – and honestly, it changed everything.
I learnt what was actually happening in my body, how to make informed choices, and how to stay calm and confident, no matter how birth unfolded.
Now? I teach other parents to do the same – with no fluff, no pressure, just real tools that work.
