Pop That Mumma Birth Box Hypnobirthing Avis 

I am so grateful that you created this! I didn't have the best experience with my first born, I let the fear overcome me, but I keep listening and I know God willing if I get baby no 2. I won't be afraid anymore.

I am so grateful for Poppy’s doula guidance and for Birthbox! My second birth, though came with unexpected challenges with my baby sunny side up, was absolute worlds different coming out on the other side, than my first! I started having mild labor contractions through the night and could feel it picking up when I woke up in the morning. I listened to the oxytocin bubble all morning and was fully dilated by the time we got the hospital (only a few hours). It was incredibly anchoring and helped me stay in the zone 🙏 so much so that I didn’t realize I was just about ready to push when I was. I know there are so many unexpected things that come up in birth - and there certainly was! My deep wish for this birth was to come out feeling a sense of pride and empowerment and Poppy’s birthbox was a huge part of helping me with this!!

I just wanted to message you to say thank you (again!). I gave birth to my baby girl on 23/02/2026 and your Birth Box course, yet again, played a vital role in my mindset.

I ended up having a 3 day labour with the first two stages stretching out over the majority of that. It was actually more psychologically difficult than physical difficult for that part because I kept expecting things to ramp up and they just didn’t. My contractions, though quite intense, were inconsistent in timing and duration.

This is where your course really helped me to find calm, and try to encourage oxytocin. I spent day two getting stressed over when it would happen, and thinking too much of what was to come.

But after putting on your audio tapes, I learned to surrender to the process, that she would come when she was ready and I am capable of doing what was necessary to birth her.

On day 3, I didn’t have any contractions barely and I just let it be. It was fine. She was making her own way into the world.

And then suddenly, my contractions ramped up, I had a Hollywood style water break, and I was already 10cm before I got to the hospital.

Unfortunately, my baby wasn’t in the correct position and I had to have medical intervention to vacuum her out. And although it went wildly differently to my first experience, and much more medical, I still look on it as a positive experience because I remained in control the entire time. Not of the situation because you can’t be, but of my reaction to the situation. I allowed the professionals to make decisions and trusted that they would look after me and my baby. I accepted that it was going different than I hoped, and I have you to thank for that.

Your course really helped me to just have my mind in the right place for birth. Thank you a million times.

The work you do is so important, it’s so necessary and needed and I hope you continue to help women around the world just like me for many years to come.

I just wanted to send a message of thanks and to let you know how helpful your course was. I used it with my husband to prepare for birth. It was my first pregnancy so we had no idea what to expect. But with your course we both felt confident and relaxed to be able to meet whatever occurred. I went spontaneously into labour at 37 weeks, it progressed very rapidly but with the techniques we learnt we both kept very calm and no one, including the midwives realised how far I’d progressed until I started uncontrollably pushing. Unfortunately baby became very distressed and we progressed to instrumental delivery but despite this we were able to remain very calm and it was an overall overwhelmingly positive experience despite the complications. Baby arrived safe and well and my husband felt empowered to be able to support me with what I needed during labour 💙

Mumma, you taught me how to advocate for myself, and it led me to a beautiful, hard, life-changing birth. In a country where you’re expected to do what you’re told and give birth on their terms, just because I knew what to ask, what everything meant, and what felt safe for me, I was able to have my girl witout any artificial oxytocin or medicamentation in just one hour of hardcore active labor.
I knew how to push and when to stop. The only thing I applied from your course was to listen to my body. And the fact that I understood everything that should happen because of you made all the difference.
Thank you. You helped a mamá this morning at 5:24

All mummas should purchase the Birth Box, an incredible tool that has been created by Poppy to teach and nurture expectant parents on how to shift their mind sets of birth.

After a really positive first birth in my second pregnancy I wanted to increase my knowledge and understanding on birth. As a mum that was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and whom wanted to have a physiological home birth. The medical system immediately wanted me to be induced and be in the labour ward.

After using the tools available in the birth box I confidently could advocate for my self and the birth I wanted. I ended up having my baby at home and had an unplanned free birth. It was the most euphoric and beautiful experience and I would do it all again. An experience that I would love all mums to have. 10cm doesn’t need to look scary it can be controlled and beautiful.

My husband and I really enjoyed taking part in the birth box course and the village. As a Midwife myself I wanted to do some work of letting go of some of the “bad” things I’d seen in midwifery. I didn’t know if I’d done enough but we chucked ourselves at the course and I kept moving right up until the day I went into labour.

Sunday evening after feeling a bit weird all day, I had a beautiful dog walk in the sun, cooked dinner before I was uncomfortable enough for a bath. I listened to your tracks, read my book and convinced myself that as a first time mom I wasn’t contracting 4:10 almost straight away.
After a couple of hours the midwives arrived at my home, tens machine and stomping and movement were my friends until midnight when I got in the pool and had our little girl an hour and half later.

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, my preparation, my birth partner’s amazing birth preparation (all thanks to the course) and an amazing midwifery team meant I got the birth I very much wanted. Even if I hadn’t, I would have done it on my terms.

I used Birth Box to prepare for an out of guidance home birth. I had to advocate really hard as I was high risk...I used the meditations, birth box and listened to poppy's podcasts. Having used other hypnosis birthing providers previously, I can confidently say this was by miles ahead, the best!!! She is very realistic without being scary, she genuinely helped me to understand how to write my birth plan and how to prepare for all eventualities which served me really well when my birth, unsurprisingly, didn't go to plan at all! I listened to the meditations every night before going to sleep and I laboured without any pain relief for 24 hours in the end. I also ended up needing a C-section, but it was beautiful and calm, with all my wishes for delayed cord clamping and skin to skin honoured with our beautiful playlist in the background. After a really traumatic first birth, this was the preparation I needed for a healing experience. 100% would recommend and will use again for any future pregnancies. Thank you Poppy 💖.

Hi Poppy and Birthbox team🤍 I just wanted to say thank you — I used Birthbox to prepare for my birth and it was so incredibly helpful. I came back to it again and again.

Although my planned home birth ended in a hospital transfer after 12 hours, I still experienced it as deeply empowering and positive. The concept of staying empowered and making aligned decisions — even when things changed — made all the difference.

Refraining pain also was a hugs help to my husband who was my birth partner.

Lastly Listening to the podcasts and hearing other women’s stories supported me so much. I look forward to sharing mine.

I really enjoyed the birth box. Of course it is a little bit expensive , but doing it with my husband was amazing. The tips he remembered was life saving during my birth. My contractions started at 3:00 am, was at the hospital at 6:30 and 8:30 baby was here. I could acknowledge my contractions during birth and the pause to recover… it was amazing because i didn’t push when i didn’t have to.. and i was able to be fully aware of my birth because of the birth box and Poppy.
Thank you 😊

I loved listening to the birth box as a mental preparation for my birth. It became a ritual going to bed and listening to it with my partner. During birth it was a game changer. Although everything turned out the opposite we wished for listening to your calming voice gave me an additional support. Looking forward to all those pregnancies and births in the future. I’m deeply grateful for that.

I decided to purchase Poppy's program just weeks before my delivery after debating for months if I thought spending the money was worth it. I devoured as much of her program as I could in just a few weeks and walked into my 4th delivery better [mentally] prepared than ever. I wish I would have invested in myself sooner, but love knowing I have the program to fall on postpartum for affirmations and again for another birth! The Birth Box was 110% worth it!

I have really enjoyed watching the videos. There’s a lot of information but it’s very clear. Has made me less anxious for labour!

I wanted to share that i laboured beautifully at home (with intention to give birth there)- until about 7-8cm. I felt so present and one with my body in a way i never have before. Sadly little babe went into destress and after a transfer to hospital i ended up needing an emergency c section. What i took away from birth box was the ability to stay very present, by using my breath to make peace with an intervention i truly never wanted (and feared) but needed. I know if i had not had birth box, panic would have taken over and that is not how i wanted to meet my baby. Even though the c section was the last thing i pictured as part of my birth, i do feel strongly that birth box gave me the tools to flow with the situation. I also feel strongly that because i had these tools, i do not look at this birth as traumatic. This has deeply impacted my postpartum and bond with my little girl for the better

Thanks to the birth box I had my dream natural water birth with my daughter on the 15TH Jan at 41+6. If it wasn’t for Poppy and all the resources in the birth box I wouldn’t have had the important knowledge needed and definitely wouldn’t have been able to advocate for myself against induction pressures. I learned to trust my body and felt calm and prepared for my labour. When I first found out I was pregnant I was terrified of the thought of labour … but it ended up being the most magical experience, even my other half has said he would love to go back and experience it all again with me.

My waters broke at 6am on the 17th of March – but only a little bit, so I honestly thought I had just peed myself 😅 We called the hospital and went in to get checked. It was definitely my waters, but I had no contractions.

We went back home to wait… and nothing happened. I watched all the Birth Box videos again and decided we would just wait calmly. The next day we were asked to come back if contractions hadn’t started. We went in, baby was fine, I was fine, but still nothing.

When the doctors came in it felt overwhelming. They were trying to scare us a little, but thanks to the knowledge from Birth Box, we felt confident. My husband calmly said we were going home – and we did.

The next day we were booked again. Still only small contractions and 2cm dilated. Then one doctor came in with 4–5 others and I was nearly in tears. My husband stepped in again and said we were going for a walk. He asked them some uncomfortable questions they couldn’t really answer… so they left 😅

We went outside, talked, the sun was in my face, and he calmed me down. We came back to check baby’s heartbeat and met the loveliest midwife (my husband actually knew her!). She reassured me everything would be fine.

Later that evening a really kind doctor came, answered all our questions respectfully, and wasn’t offended that we didn’t want doctors present during labour. Because I was already 2cm and hovering around labour, I agreed to the hormonal drip.

Before the drip, my husband ordered me pizza to keep my energy up – best decision ever 😂

Once contractions started, the midwives offered different pain relief options, but honestly the only thing I needed was the Birth Box audio playing the whole time. I asked for a wireless monitor so I could stay mobile — I didn’t even know that was an option before Birth Box!

I used the ball, rocked my hips, stayed moving. In the last 30 minutes I sat on the bed as contractions got intense. My husband kept reminding me to breathe like in the videos and massaged my lower back – it helped so much.

When it was time to push, he knew exactly what to do because of Birth Box. He was incredible. The midwife was amazing too.

Our baby girl came out perfect 🥰 She cried once… then fell asleep 😂

Fifteen minutes later, while the midwife came to check the drip, she was already breastfeeding.

I had watched so many scary induction stories that ended in C-sections, and I was terrified. But with the advice and knowledge from Birth Box, this was the most beautiful labour I could have imagined – and it only took about 5 hours.

Thank you for giving us confidence, knowledge, and the calm we needed. 🤍

As a midwife and hypnobirthing teacher it would be easy to think I was super confident about birth. I have complete faith and confidence in women’s bodies but when I was pregnant I realised that didn’t extend to myself. The oxytocin bubble offered something affordable that I could do in my own time and I really like the structure it gave me. I really valued having the more upbeat affirmations which I would listen to in the car then the more calm version which I would listen to in the bath. I also really valued the ice cube technique and did this regularly.
My birth experience was a tail of two halves but these tools helped me to feel proud of my body and empowered regardless of the outcome.
My early labour lasted around 20hours, although it was tiring and intense it gave me space to get into the zone. As I planned a homebirth I got to settle into the space in my own time and way. I was very vocal during my labour however this package helped to reinforce that just because I wasn’t quiet and serene doesn’t mean I failed at hypnobirthing. Instead vocalising helped to focus my energy as I would verbalise affirmations, even using words like ‘open’ during my surges - I didn’t feel silly or embarrassed, I knew I was doing what I needed to birth my baby. Although my early labour was long my ‘active labour’ was a total of 3 hours then 20 minutes involuntary pushing before my little girl arrived at home in the pool. I was lucky to have amazing midwives who completely supported and understood my wishes around birth and I look back on it with so much pride. The moment when I first met my daughter and turned to my husband to say “I did it” will always be one of the most incredible moments of my life, I have never felt so empowered and will always treasure that moment.
After I birthed my placenta I had some increased blood loss which was closely observed at home. I had 2 hours of uninterrupted skin to skin before I started to feel unwell and my bleeding increased so I made the informed decision to transfer to hospital. Although this was not what I wanted I knew it was the right thing. Even though I was haemorrhaging the experience overall was calm and I felt in control. Despite deviating from my wishes I feel proud to have bridged the worlds of more holistic birth approaches and the addition of medical intervention when I needed it. This preparation has helped me to feel proud of my birth in its entirety. My little girl is now 6 months old and although I have needed time to process I am so proud of my birth and experience as a whole and feel that the work I put in to prepare for birth has been a big part of my healing since.

I have recently given birth to our third and final baby. I brought birth box as previously I had done other hypnobirthing programmes but didn't necessarily connect with them.
Cut to the third baby and I listened to this daily through out my pregnancy and when labour finally started naturally ( I had declined an induction on there was no medical need) my waters broke 40+3 and laboured and birthed our final piece with oxytocin bubble track in the back ground. Labour was intense but the playlist helped me stay grounded and calm and in control along with my fabulous husband as my birthing partner. And after one minute of pushing out came out little girl.

Having the playlist and all of the tools I needed to feel in control in labour and be able to make informed decisions were vital.

This course has helped me so much, Poppy's voice has been in my life for the past 5 years, during all my 3 pregnancies. First two labours were long (30 odd hours on the first and almost 48 with the second) and the sound tracks combined with breathing techniques helped me go through it. Even when they ended up in emergency c-sections, the breathing techniques helped me remain as calm as possible, and not crumble with despair!
I listened to all the tracks and podcasts throughout my third pregnancy and it was such a lovely way to wind down, it felt like "me and baby" time. During labour I didn't actually managed to listen to the tracks because it was such a fast labour, but on the other hand, it was when I needed the most, as I was trying for a vaginal birth without pain relief, and around the transition time I started to panic a bit and the breathing was a bit of the window, as the surges were quite something, so I remembered one of Poppy's words "surrender", and held on to that for dear life, every time I felt a surge coming I'd think, don't fight it, surrender! And that helped me so much. Hypnobirthing gives you something to hold on to, is one of the tools for a better labour, and I'm sure Poppy is the best out there ❤️
