I am going to be a single Mum and my Mum and my sister are going to be my birth partners.
I have explained to both of them that I would like a very relaxed water birth using hypnotherapy if I can. I'll be using the Natal method, and am going to treat myself to the cds in a couple of weeks time.
My sister is verrrry sceptical as she had a horrendous labour with her first baby, what she experienced is everything I do not want to go through!
My Mum is much more open minded and understands why I want to use hypnotherapy in the birthing of my baby, and that I want soothing music, dimmed lights, peace and quiet and essential oils etc...
What I would like to know is, obviously my birthing partners need to be acting in a certain way with me when I go into labour - and I am worried, especially about my sister.
What do they need to be doing to prepare themselves for my baby's birth? I don't want to go into labour with only me knowing what my plan is
Can anyone help or perhaps offer some advice? I don't think my sister would even sit and read my Natal book if I gave it to her... for one I don't think she has the time!
