Harry's Birth
I've been telling as many ladies about your hypnobirthing class as I can! I love seeing people's faces when I tell them about my amazing hypnobirth... Firstly they have a look of disbelief, (so many people don't think a drug free natural birth is really possible!), then their look changes to wide eyed wonder as they realise that it really can happen!
I had a natural waterbirth at the hospital, my labour was only 4 hrs and completely drug free! Throughout the labour Jamie was very supportive playing the birth affirmations and reminding me that 20mins would only feel like 2 minutes - it really worked as before I knew it I was holding my little boy in my arms.
I could definitely feel pressure and pain, but the tools I learned to use in hypnobirthing made me know that I could keep calm, and birth my baby without letting it all get on top of me. It was totally manageable :)
Harry is such a calm baby and really settled into the world with ease which Jamie and I believe was because of the effort we put into making his birth as calm as possible. I'm so glad that I can share a truly POSITIVE birth with my peers, showing them it doesn't have to be like it is in the movies!
Thank you for your help and guidance Anna :) before I met you I was very apprehensive about the impending birth, knowing I wanted to have a natural birth but not knowing if I could achieve it. Thanks to you we did it!!
Please feel free to use any of the photos, or my story. If it encourages others to try hypnobirthing it's all worth it x
Harry was born on 27th June, is now almost 8 weeks old... We are in love :)
