Isabella’s Birth Story<\/strong><\/h6>\n

\"Natural<\/a>Ballina Sundae 3730 grams
\n40 weeks + 2
\nNatural water birth<\/p>\n

My birth story starts off with having a stretch and sweep at 40 weeks on the day with my birth centre Midwife, who I had been with the whole time. for the next two days, I continued to have intense cramps, but not so intense that I couldn\u2019t sleep or carry on with my day. On the day that I gave birth, I was confused with what my body was doing, as I didn\u2019t think this is how it was gonna go.<\/p>\n

I pictured my birth coming in strong as my first birth was four hours and was an induced labour and was intense from the start.<\/p>\n

At 12 pm, I went to the Birth centre in Byron Bay and got assessed. I was 4 cm dilated, but was very inconsistent with the times in between my contractions, sometimes 10 minutes sometimes 25 minutes.<\/p>\n

\"Natural<\/a>She reminded me that they had very strict rules there and that I have if I haven\u2019t progressed, I would\u2019ve had to go to a far away hospital, not close to my home.<\/p>\n

They recommended me to go to Lismore base hospital, which was closer to my home to get my waters, broke to speed things along.<\/p>\n

The second I walked in the door It was like my body knew that\u2019s where I needed to be.<\/p>\n

After sitting in the shower for 10 minutes, I had intense backpain. They offered me sterile water shots which I accepted. I didn\u2019t expect the roar that came out of my mouth. I apologise to the midwives who said dont be silly.<\/p>\n

The next 40 minutes, I sat in the bath, silent doing my Hypnobirthing breaths. I had my Hypnobirthing track playing, and it was soothing as I listen to it for half of my pregnancy to calm me down.<\/p>\n

\"Natural<\/a>It always seem to put me asleep, especially the rainbow one.<\/p>\n

Suddenly I looked up at my partner and I said her head is there. Nobody believed me they said okay love I doubt it, but let me have a quick check with the mirror.<\/p>\n

I then hear the Midwife tell my husband- in a second I want you to press that button on the wall okay? I knew what that meant, I knew she was close and I knew that I was right her head was right there.<\/p>\n

Two minutes, later of pushing and deep, groaning, she was out on my chest no one had touched her and I got the birth I had dreamed of for so long. 50 min active labour calm and drug free all thanks to hypnobirthing.<\/p>\n

Thank you guys<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
