Mikala’s Birth Story<\/h4>\n
\n

\"all<\/a>I did it!!!<\/p>\n

Had the most amazing hypnobirth, all-natural, all calm, I beared down like a pro! My ob was amazed at how composed I was and how effective I was at \u201cpushing\u201d. It felt so easy to me.<\/p>\n

The hardest part ended up being that transition stage where I thought how much more intense is this going to get, and then moments later I was bearing down and it was over.<\/p>\n

I just flopped every surge and told myself I choose to relax and let go and omg it worked so well. It was only about a 7-hour labour which for first labour is great I believe.<\/p>\n

Had a tiny graze barely a tear. One stitch, Had no pain afterwards only some glute pain and tightness.<\/p>\n

Psysio at the hospital was amazed how well my uterus was contracting back and that my pelvic floor was great, I could do the exercises easily and no pain and everything felt so normal and in tact – all the midwives keep offering me pain relief and I was like I\u2019m not in any pain! \"empowering<\/a><\/p>\n

Anyway it all went so well so thank you so so so much for empowering me!!<\/p>\n

Unfortunately the after care at the hospital really let me know with breastfeeding- completely disempowered me and I was crying every day.<\/p>\n

Many of the women in the ward were the same and a lot of their babies were already on formula because their nipples were too sore. I was shocked. To give my nipples a rest they put a pump on me and turned out they put the wrong size on me and it have me two baseline cracks and made everything worse!<\/p>\n

Anyway, I persisted and then Got a private lactation consultant come to my home last week and she is amazing thank god.\u00a0 Anyway, I have such a happy and calm baby and they birth was just amazing. My ob kept saying it was textbook – he couldn\u2019t believe it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
