Hypnobirthing

I would like to share my experience with hypnobirthing. I attend to a course and I tried to practice the breathing exercises as much as I could, although I have to admit that I could have practiced it more. I found that what I learnt in the course was very useful to help me to stay calm (as much as I could). I had an idea of what was happening when I had the contractions and that helped me a lot. The breathing techniques also helped me a lot to relax and to have a drug free birthing (that was what I was looking for).

I highly recommend hypnobirthing, if you don;t want to do a course you can read one of the books and they explain very well what you need to do.

Good luck and enjoy your birthing, it is an amazing experience.

How beautiful! I am so happy you got the birth you were hoping for! I didn't have time to do the course but I read the book (the Mongan method) and listened to the CD that came with it. I had the CD on while I laboured and it was AMAZING. Next baby I am definitely doing the course, I love hearing such positive things about it! Congrats again on an amazing birth!

Thanks!! Yes, it is very nice to be able to remember such a special moment with joy. There are so many people telling you such a horrible stories about giving birth....good to hear other people having AMAZING experience. So you are going for another one? I would love to have another one, but I am not sure if I would be able to manage two......
