With my second daughter, I had intended to greet her happily and joyfully, I thought, I had one baby I can do it again and do it “better” (faster, more comfortably etc.), ridiculous I know, but… I didn’t think I felt fearful until a week of birthing waves shook my confidence. I was having difficulty getting into deep hypnosis, so waves weren’t comfortable and was overly anxious about her position, which for weeks was head down but she seemed to be posterior. I was cranky and crabby, trying to control this uncontrollable birthing time and yes fearful because I was “failing”.

Then one night I just knew it was time to let go and let this baby enter the world so I did a laid down to listen to the fear cleansing track and within 2 hours baby was born. I woke up from that session, ready and at peace with whatever my birthing time would bring and let my body finally do what it knew how to do, I relaxed enough to give that baby room to rotate and manuever herself out just like she knew how to do instinctually. And in the end had a wonderful birthing time because I let go all of that fear.
