Hi All,
I'm almost 39 weeks pregnant. Thought this may be the best forum for me at the moment as I am planning a Hypnobirth at my local midwife-led birthing facility. I'm hoping to have a waterbirth.
I've been to hypnobirthing classes which I have found very informative and it has allowed me to take control and let go of the fear I had about childbirth.
Been practising every day and sometimes I am amazed at the relaxed state I can get into...I literally feel like I've taken some really strong drug to relax me and my body feel all floaty and numb! I'm hoping this is a good sign that I will be able to get into this state during labour.
OH has been to all of the classes with me and although we haven't practised a lot of the techniques together, we have done some practise and as he has been to the classes I hope this is enough for him to fully support me during labour.
Any experiences / opinions on using hypnobirthing?
It shouldn't be too long before I get to put it into practise! I've been getting fairly strong practise surges (BH) and tightenings every day.
