I got an epidural with my first child and went natural with my second. I debated the first half of my third pregnancy if I would have a natural childbirth experience again or if I wanted the epidural. When I went natural with my second, the pain was unbearable and I thought I was going [...]

On June 17th, a Wednesday, I felt homey. The sky was gray in the afternoon and I took that as an excuse not to go to my yoga class. This was unusual, as I really enjoyed my yoga classes, but I felt a little fatigued. I went to bed, to rest, and started reading a [...]

I found out I was pregnant with Cooper, Son #3! I didn’t want to have a replay of Jack and Riley’s birth and ended up at a free standing Birth Center. The pregnancy was full of apprehension at first with me on Progesterone so I wouldn’t miscarry. I had terrible morning sickness, but otherwise, it [...]

I got a lot out of reading all of the birth stories of other mothers using Hypnobabies, and am happy to be able to share my own successful experience. I did [...]

This was shared by a mom on the Hypnobabies Yahoo Group and she said I could post it to the blog.
I just wanted to share my experience last night that illustrated the fear-pain cycle to me beautifully.

Why would you have natural childbirth? Why would you want to feel all that pain? You wouldn’t get a tooth pulled without drugs, why would you give birth without drugs?
Not a perfect comparison
Why? Think back to when you were little kid and your teeth fell out on their own.
Did you need anesthesia for that? No, it [...]

Baby Will’s birth story is unusual because it spans about four days. But I’ve limited most of the story below to the actual birth, with a little background on how we got there.
I was hospitalized on July 19 (Sunday) for kidney stone pain at 39 weeks and given an NST. Baby was looking good and [...]

BBC Interview on hypnosis
It was nice to hear a doc proposing that hypno-anesthesia can help make some medical procedures safer and save costs even, and that it should be made more readily available!
