Pop That Mumma Birth Box Hypnobirthing Avis 

Had a second dream water birth and had your oxytocin bubble playing for the entire 4 hours of active labour until transition. Dare I say active labour was “not that bad”. I would describe it even as empowering, tolerable, opportunity for connection with my husband and baby. I didn’t meet transition with as much fear as my first birth, I didn’t know it would be possible. I couldn’t believe it when the midwife told me I was in transition, I was in denial until my baby was a few contractions away from being born. Since it was a quick labour, I did have that moment where my spirit had to come back to my body before holding my baby, but I met that moment with such compassion because of your advocacy. Thank you for your work.

I found the tracks and online course very helpful during pregnancy to calm my nerves. There are a lot of playlists to choose from which was great but I felt they could be organised better. I did not find the hypno-birthing tracks so helpful during birth because my birth became complicated and I found the messaging in the tracks did not match my experience.

The best decision I made was to invest in this course!
I put the success of my beautiful VBAC water birth down to Birth Box, the Oxcitocin Bubble and the Pop that Mumma podcast. All three educated me into my choices and led me to design a birth plan of my dreams, which became my reality.

After a difficult first labour and delivery which ended up in an emergency c-section at 10cm dilation, I was determined to have a different experience when I became pregnant with baby number 2. Fast forward to delivery day, I felt confident in my choices, and while listening to the oxcitocin bubble, I gave birth to our second son at 42 weeks in the midwife led unit. Everything I could have wished for happened and I had such a redemptive birth.

I can’t thank Poppy enough for giving me the tools to make informed decisions which led to my thoughts and experience of birth being transformative. I would recommend this course to every expectant mother out there!

I wanted to reach out and say thank you — genuinely, from the bottom of my heart — for everything you do. This is a great course!!

You helped me enter pregnancy with a completely different appreciation for the female body, and with the belief that I was made to birth this baby. That belief stayed with me throughout my pregnancy and, ultimately, through the birth itself.

A friend sent me this course during my pregnancy, and I fully committed to your birth box and to preparing myself as much as I could.

This course enabled me to fully advocate for myself and I was ready for the pain. I really appreciate that you never gloss over that part of birth or make it sound easier than it is. You helped me prepare for the reality of it, and because of that, the pain felt so much less scary when I experienced it.

And my partner was my absolute rock. He listened alongside me, felt involved in the preparation, and felt genuinely ready because we had sat together and written our preferences for however our baby might enter the world.

I truly met the strongest version of myself through this experience, and I honestly don’t think I would have approached it in the same way without the preparation and confidence you gave me.

So, again, thank you. Truly.

I can’t recommend this course and poppy’s work enough!
I had baby number 2 in August and had the birth I always dreamed of, unmediated water birth (in hospital) and my god was it powerful!
My first birth I wasn’t fully prepared for pain or how to manage it, this time around I used birthbox and my 17 hour labour was almost enjoyable! The vocalisation tools I learnt on the course changed everything for me and made the contractions manageable, I knew what was happening in my body and felt able to trust it completely. I’m so glad I was able to roar my baby girl into the world.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, I have spent my life quietening my voice and your help to let go of my inhibition has not only changed my birth but I feel will change my life ❤️❤️❤️

I wanted to send a huge thank you to Poppy for the course. I started Birth Box at just 12 weeks pregnant; after a long seven-year IVF journey, this was our first-ever pregnancy. I knew from the start that I wanted the birth to be as natural as possible, which is what led me to hypnobirthing.
My waters broke on Wednesday at 11:30 pm, and by 11:05 am on Thursday, my baby girl was in my arms. I even got to experience a full fetal ejection reflex!

I learned so much from the course, but the most vital takeaway was learning how to advocate for myself. After experiencing OHSS during my IVF journey, I knew I had to go into this birth prepared, knowledgeable, and with clear boundaries. Luckily, I had an outstanding team of midwives who supported me throughout. They even advocated for me when a consultant wanted to cut the cord after just one minute; my husband and the midwives stood up for our wishes, and we got our optimal cord clamping in the end!

I used no medication—just gas and air and your tracks to get me through. I got to 8cm dilated with just the tracks and breathing. It was phenomenal. Hearing your familiar voice guiding me kept me grounded, I actually found the breathing techniques more effective for pain management than the gas and air.

I was completely in the zone, trusting that my body knew exactly what to do. After the struggle of IVF and the heartbreak of multiple failed transfers, it’s easy to lose trust in your body and lose confidence in its natural abilities. However, I can honestly say that I went into labour with the firm belief that my body was capable—and it was.

Thank you again! There aren’t enough words to express my gratitude for your course.

I've always really wanted an unmedicated birth. My first time around I tried hypno birthing, did the classes, listened to the tracks, but I never felt that they were rooted in reality. By the time we got to the hospital I was only 4cm, every check in, every question, every contraction pulled me away from focusing on managing the contractions.

My second time around I was determined for birth to be different. I found pop that mumma about a month before my due date, I started deep diving on her content and listening to the birthing tracks. I would put the labouring background track on repeat and listen to it to fall asleep. I studied poppys breathing techniques and pain management approaches.

I started having very early contractions at about 10am and was honestly excited to start laboring. I rested and went about my day until then contractions started getting stronger at about 2pm. I started using my labor comb and labored in bed on my side for about 4 hours. Occasionally I would try switching positions, but side lying with my comb was the most comfortable and really allowed me to release all the tension and melt into the contractions as they came.

At ~6pm the contractions felt strong, but still manageable. I questioned if it was too early to go into the hospital but my timer was telling me they were getting very close together. My husband and I were in the parking lot of the hospital at 6:15 and our sweet baby girl was born by 6:37. They didn't have time to hook me up or offer me any medication, and by the time I got in the room babygirl was crowning and i felt the fetal ejection reflex making me push.

It was so beautiful and exactly the birth I was hoping for. Thank you Poppy for changing my mindset and helping me be as prepared as possible for the birth of our babygirl.

Hi Poppy, I just wanted to thank YOU for creating Birth Box and the Oxytocin playlist. 10 days ago I gave birth to our beautiful baby girl and I had a completely natural breech birth with no interventions. I felt the months of preparation during pregnancy really paid off and I'm so grateful I invested my time in your course. I felt completely in my zone and in my body. I used many of the tools from your course and had the Oxytocin Bubble audio on repeat for the two hour drive to the hospital and it was the first thing I put on the speaker when arriving into the birthing suite. When my surges felt more intense I asked my partner to put on the Anchor audio which helped immensely. So thank you thank you thank you!!! One happy Mamma. Highly recommend!!!

All the information was so helpful and insightful. I loved the meditations so much. Poppy’s voice is so soothing and calming. I felt more prepared for my labor experience.

birth box empowered me for the most magical and primal experience, even despite the intensity and sudden changes.

i found the layout of the course easy to follow, and i really liked that you could tick off what you had done/read. a lot of the tracks are easy to repeat and listen to which meant i could just listen to them whilst on a walk or tidying. one of the things i loved about birth box was that it taught me about the science behind labour, it taught me about all of the stages of birth and common options i can have and prompted me to do my own research on everything, it was really educational. there was also sections provided for the birthing partner, which meant my husband was also in the mix and it opened up many conversations between myself and him that i doubt we’d have had otherwise. i also must add that i found the realism in this course the most helpful; it didn’t shy away from the intensity of birth, it talked about pain in a realistic but positive way and didn’t try to fluff up the intensity that most of us go through or promise me i would definitely enjoy it and not be in pain, and also made me do some serious inner work preparing for this experience, to go with the flow of whatever changes come so long as i know i am still in charge and safe.
poppy’s labour tracks saw me enjoy two days of early labour, and carried me through to the end. when my home water birth suddenly changed to a hospital birth and on the bed birth due to meconium being present in waters, i remained happy with the changes and accepted them thanks to poppy, and the “Anchor” track, (for quick and intense labour,) kept me in the zone, allowing me to roar my baby out in 14 minutes with no tearing. it was the most incredible experience.
i well and truly give birth box the credit for allowing me to really lean into the birthing experience, and the work i did on my nervous system in preparation has absolutely followed me into postpartum and given me what i believe are lifelong skills. i recommend this course to everyone and anyone i know planning on having a baby, it is so much more than just your average hypnobirthing course, it encompasses so much and there are so many useful resources. poppy, thank you so much, i am forever grateful for the knowledge you shared on this course.

After very traumatic first birth, I've started observing Poppy on Instagram. Her content really agreed with me so when I got pregnant with the second baby I had to purchase her materials.
I listened to dancing meditation multiple times, really loved it! Then when my labor finally started and was taking longer than I anticipated (again) I listened to prolonged labor track, it guided me beautifully and I gave birth few hours later!
I also purchased Aniball recommended by Poppy and I'm now going to tell about it to all my pregnant friends too!

I had the labour and birth of my dreams, and welcomed my little rainbow baby boy into the world on the 23August.

It was the most incredible water birth, I did end up requesting gas and air, but didn’t feel like a failure because of The Birth Box course. I knew that suffering wasn’t the goal.
The gas and air helped me deliver my baby safely into this world without a tear!!
All the meditations and guidance were so helpful, and I felt so informed.

When a secondary midwife tried to coach me through pushing (even though I was experiencing the fetal ejection reflex) I just tuned her out and listened to my body and allowed myself to feel the stretch and work with it.

Your course is amazing and I’ll be recommending it to everyone!

I was very much stressed by labor and postpartum during my pregnancy, as many other women. My pregnancy was hard in a very emotional and psychological way : I was and am still feeling I don't exactly "fit" into the "mother" figure, and while everyone was telling me not to worry, that everything would unfold naturally, that my body would just know what to do, I knew I needed to prepare mentally for what was coming. I started the birthbox course around two months before giving birth and it definitely changed everything! I'd listened to the visualizations and meditations every week while doing my 10km trekking near my house. That combination made it very smooth for me and it definitely helped keeping the empowering birth sentences in my subconscious. These are really great in terms of sounds, compositions and word use(Also Poppy's voice has a lovely reassuring tone). With the course, I was able to understand all the birth process, to trust in my capacities and be flexible regarding any turn that could unfold my birth, letting go of fear. One of the main things I liked about this course is that it's very explicit about the possible pain you will feel and also gives so many tools about how to manage it.
I had a vaginal birth and felt much more pain than I was expecting, but never fell into desperation and felt like I had control over what was happening to me and over the decisions I could take along the way. I am so happy I did this course and prepared accordingly, it absolutely avoided me being completely traumatized by birth and getting in the best way possible into postpartum. Many thanks Poppy <3

Where to begin! The experience of birth box was phenomenal. I was able to achieve my VBAC using the tracks and the course. They reframed so much for me and my nervous system. Couldn't recommend enough!

I just wanted to say a massive thank you to Poppy for her amazing soundtracks and resources. I had the VBAC I dreamed of this morning with the help of the oxytocin bubble course! The tracks and relaxing tone of Poppy's voice really got me through the early stages of labour and repeating the affirmations out loud were so helpful when things ramped up and 'the waves' felt more intense but always bearable. Would highly recommend to anyone preparing for birth and their birth partner ❤️

I listened to Poppy’s birth prep affirmations every single day for the latter 20 weeks of my pregnancy. Usually on the train going to work or while cooking dinner. On tough days, I sometimes listened more than once, her voice is so soothing and supportive 💕 When my water broke spontaneously a couple weeks early, my midwife suggested I stay home to try and get contractions going before going to the hospital to be induced. One of the first things I did was go on a long walk and listened to Poppy’s tracks. I started crying on my walk and felt so ready to get labor going. It worked (along with some other tips and tricks) and I got to the hospital at 7cm dilated and didn’t need to be medically induced, which felt so great. Huge thanks to Poppy for this program & highly recommend!!

Amazing course for anyone preparing for birth!
My husband and I did this course while expecting our second child. It was great for gaining confidence about birth, relaxing, setting up roles, planning, but also being flexible and open to what is best for the baby's arrival. We had a lovely homebirth, and it was all thanks to the tools given by Poppy in this course.

I bought the birth box and found it fantastic; the learning in the lead up and the soundtracks really set me up to be prepared and confident for birthing! I listened to the oxytocin bubble album through my labour and it really did the job! Would very much recommend!

I used the Oxytocin Bubble and listened to the meditation tracks from Birth Box throughout my pregnancy. This pregnancy felt especially significant as I was hoping for a VBAC. While I was excited, there was also a lot of emotion tied up in the journey.
Poppy, your course helped me prepare mentally and physically, and I went into labour feeling informed, calm, confident and trusting that whatever happened, I had the tools to cope. They became my anchor and kept me grounded. THANK YOU.

I welcomed my second baby girl into the world 3 weeks ago, and it was one of the most amazing, intense and powerful experiences of my life. Having prepared with Poppy’s course, I felt so much more confident in my body and in my ability to birth my baby. And after all the emotions and uncertainty that came with hoping for a VBAC, I’m incredibly proud to say that I achieved the birth I had hoped for.

The tools I learnt weren’t just something I used during labour — they genuinely changed the way I approached my pregnancy, birth and the unknown. I felt empowered, present and in control of myself, even when things became intense.

I’m so grateful to Poppy for creating a course that gave me the knowledge, confidence and belief in myself that I needed. I honestly couldn’t recommend it enough to anyone preparing for birth, especially anyone who may be carrying fears or emotions from a previous birth.

Thank you for helping me feel ready to trust myself, trust my body and trust the process. ❤️

I used the birth box to prepare for my VBA2C and I can confidently say the tracks leading up to & during birth made my birth experience something I’ll forever remember and be grateful for.
