Hypnobirth Story of Aylah<\/h4>\n

We welcomed to our family baby\u00a0Aylah. She is our third child however our first hypnobaby!<\/p>\n

In the early hours of Sunday I awoke and had very light surges.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t think anything of it and went back to sleep.\u00a0 When I then woke to start my day at about 7am I noticed I was still having those surges and wondered if it could actually be surges.\u00a0 They were very bearable and not in any way uncomfortable.\u00a0 At about 7:30am I decided to record the consistency of the surges.\u00a0 As they were about 4 minutes apart and since my second child arrived in 1 hour and 45 minutes [we live about 45 minutes away from the hospital (on a good run)] my husband and I decided to make our way to the hospital.\u00a0 I was not convinced at this stage that I was actually having surges because I was still able to get on with things and they just weren\u2019t painful.\u00a0 Upon arriving at\u00a0 the hospital, I walked in casually and told the maternity staff I had arrived.\u00a0 They took me into a birthing suite and we agreed to go on the monitor to check for uterine activity.\u00a0 Sure enough I was having surges and was 4-5cm dilated.<\/p>\n

I found it was easier to not have anyone around me so that I could do this.\u00a0 I must have only been in the shower for about \u00bd hour when I felt a sudden shift.\u00a0 I knew that my baby had moved and was ready to be breathed down.\u00a0 I found that my slow breathing just didn\u2019t feel right so I attempted my birth breathing.\u00a0 It just felt right.\u00a0 Amazing.\u00a0 I told the midwife that I was ready to breathe the baby down so I left the shower to take position to breathe her down.\u00a0 I am not sure the midwife believed that we were ready, but I knew.\u00a0 I just started breathing down with the birth breathing.\u00a0 I was doing this for about 20 minutes and I could feel her ready to come out but it was like something was holding me back.\u00a0 Turns out my membranes hadn\u2019t ruptured.\u00a0 We decided that the doctor could rupture them for me.\u00a0 (The exact same thing happened for my last 2 births).\u00a0 As soon as my membranes were ruptured, Aylah came straight out with my next few breaths.\u00a0 She happily announced herself as soon as she arrived with a big beautiful scream that only lasted for a second as if she was saying, \u201chello, I am here\u201d.\u00a0 She started feeding almost instantly and was very content.<\/p>\n

I wish I had known about Hypnobirthing for my first two children.<\/p>\n

The experience was just wonderful.\u00a0 No drugs whatsoever and in fact I didn\u2019t even think about having them.\u00a0 I felt as if I was in control the whole time.\u00a0 I was working with my body and it was telling me what stage we were up to.\u00a0 It is very hard to explain and even to believe until you go through it.\u00a0 I want to thank Melissa for all of her help leading up to my birthing day.\u00a0 I was getting a bit nervous as the day was approaching and had a lot of questions but she helped me through it.\u00a0 Of course I realise now there was nothing to panic about because everything was perfect.<\/p>\n
