I chose Hypnobirthing because it embraced the idea that any form of birth could be positive and empowering. I really liked how the course focused on maintaining calm and going with the flow, rather than sticking to a rigid birth plan.<\/p>\n<p>My husband watched all the online classes with me, which helped him feel well prepared to support me effectively during labor (also made me feel like we were a team and I wasn&#8217;t going through this process alone!). My mum also watched the birth partner section, so she knew exactly what she could do to help me on the day.<\/p>\n<p>During my second trimester, I established a soothing bedtime routine that became a cherished ritual. Each evening, I would light a lavender candle, spray a calming lavender mist onto our pillows, and listen to the Affirmations track in bed. This consistent practice helped me create a relaxing association with the scents and sounds, fostering a sense of calm and preparing me for a peaceful night\u2019s sleep.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday morning, I experienced the start of the bloody show, but without any other symptoms, I carried on with my day as usual. I visited a friend and went shopping with my mum, enjoying the day\u2019s activities. In the afternoon, I took a nap and woke up feeling mild period-style cramps. We attended a family dinner that evening, where I jokingly remarked that the baby could arrive at any moment. By the time we left around 9:30 p.m., I was having surges every 30 minutes to an hour, though I wasn\u2019t sure if it was false labor or the real thing.<\/p>\n<p>I tried to go to sleep around 10 p.m., but by 10:30 p.m., I got out of bed as the surges were becoming more frequent, signalling the start of early labour. I walked around and did some light stretches. We called the hospital at midnight, and the midwives suggested I stay at home as long as I felt comfortable, given the surge frequency was still less than 3 every 10 minutes. My husband transformed the living room into a serene birthing space with lavender candles, a speaker playing soothing music and the Affirmations track (which instantly made me relax), and a coffee table full of nourishing snacks like fruits and coconut water.<\/p>\n<p>To manage the surges, I initially stayed upright and bounced gently on the birth ball, using a heat pack for additional comfort and the TENS machine on a low setting. For each surge, I utilised Hypnobirthing breathing techniques to remain relaxed. As labour progressed, I transitioned to using the yoga mat, leaning over the birth ball to find more relief, and gradually increased the TENS level as the intensity of the surges grew. I was so calm and relaxed that I laboured at home from midnight until 4 a.m., even convincing my husband to take a quick nap, as I felt so comfortable.<\/p>\n<p>At 4:30 a.m., we decided it was time to head to the hospital. My husband called my mum and our student midwife to meet us there. We arrived at the hospital by 4:45 a.m., and by then, my surges had become quite intense and regular. The midwives guided us to the birth suite, which was beautifully arranged with dim lighting, fairy lights, a diffuser, and a birth ball. The serene setup immediately brought me a sense of calm. My birth partners\u2014my husband, my mum, and the student midwife\u2014supported me by bringing ice chips and water between surges, offering encouraging affirmations like &#8220;you are doing so well, you are almost there,&#8221; and placing cool washcloths on my neck. At 5:25 a.m., my waters broke, and I switched to being on the bed on all fours, as I preferred not to be on my back. I began using the Hypnobirthing &#8220;down breathing&#8221; technique, and at 6:03 a.m., our beautiful baby boy was born!<\/p>\n<p>I am immensely grateful for the positive birth experience I had and feel that the Hypnobirthing course played a crucial role in making it so. The techniques I learned provided me with the tools to remain calm and focused, and I couldn&#8217;t have done it without them. The support of my birth partners\u2014who knew exactly how to assist me thanks to the course\u2014was invaluable. Thank you Melissa!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shweta&#8217;s Birth Story Melbourne, Australia Ashwin 2.65KG 37 weeks 3 days Natural Hospital Birth We began the hypnobirthing online course 3 months into my pregnancy.
