natal Hypnotherapy

[Kiree]

Hi all, I'm due in sept and have been practicing natal hypnotherapy using a cd, and also been attending courses ran by a midwife who's a trainer therapist.

I'm hoping to birth in hospital in the pool. And all being well, intervention and drug free. Things got a bit scary when I had my son, I didn't trust my body which sent me into panic, which I think was the reason for my long labour and eventual forceps delivery because his heart rate was rising and they needed him out. I wouldn't change anything because he's here and healthy and that's all that counts but this time around id like to put myself and the baby throught less stress.

I was wondering if anyone had any experience to share about previous births using natural methods and how it was for you? X

Hi Kiree, I don't have any experience but hoping for the same I had a c-section with Sofia after being induced at 37 weeks (she needed operating on).
I'm hoping for a natural birth in the hospital this time. Trying to find local support but it's a bit difficult.

I have done a hypnobirthing course and have been listening to cds & practising breathing and relaxation techniques since.

I'd be interested to hear anyones experiences!
