I was rather skeptical at first that I could really change my view of
natural and normal childbirth, but I figured, what I have I got to
loose? I ordered my Hypnobabies around 30 weeks and was able to
start before 31 weeks. I really took every word of the Hypnosis
reminder to heart that this will work for me and my baby just how it
is meant to. I dismissed every thought of negativity from my mind,
ignored my husband’s reservations of the program, and blew off any
pesimism (sp?) from anyone else. I really got into my Affirmations
and focused on listening and relaxing through my scripts. I made
sure that I didn’t focus on *whether or not this was working* just
told myself it was!
This really helped me to change my expectations for my birthing
time. I kept waiting for things for get like they did the first time
around and each pressure wave NEVER got any more than what I could
handle. Things truely were calm! And to think I only had my midwife
for the last three hours of my birthing time (12 hours or so total of
consistent PW’s). I could have gone all the way to full dilation by
myself!
I went from thinking CX’s to PRESSURE WAVES and they became just
that – pressure! It changed from P… to MANAGEABLE, SHORT LIVED
DISCOMFORT. Hypnobabies really helped me to change my perspective
and better prepared me for the natural birth that my baby and I
deserved!
