Hello Ana,
We just wanted to make contact and let you know how fantastic and helpful we found the hypnobirthing course.
After a few growth scans showing a big baby (10lb 2oz estimated) and this being our first we were offered and induction as doctors didn’t want him to get much bigger than that before labour.
After feeling quite firm on my birth plan the whole pregnancy the course really taught us about the different things that could happen or crop up that aren’t in our control and how we react to that in a positive way. We went to hospital with an open mind and on Thursday our baby was born.
The hypnobirthing we learnt kept the situation as calm as possible and even though I had some pain relief in the end the breathing exercises got me through it and kept me in a lovely happy relaxed state of mind even when the situation turned a stressful.
We went through this as a team as we attended the course together and my partner was able to be involved and knew what he could do to help me every step of the way. The breathing, the massages and taking your mind somewhere positive or reading the stories make such a massive difference to how you feel.
