I wasn\u2019t able to fit in a course, however I ordered the book online and read it in the last week before having my first son. I was able to implement some of the techniques and have a natural birth with active labour of 3 hours.<\/p>\n<p>Second time around my husband and I attended the course with Melissa and were so thankful to have this knowledge. My labour progressed during the day and I was 3-4cm dilated at 3.30pm, by early evening I knew this baby wasn\u2019t far away. At the hospital I\u2019m sure the midwives did not think the same as I wasn\u2019t calling out for pain relief, I was simply using my visualizations and affirmations while sitting on a chair under the shower and with each surge used slow breathing \u2013 this is fantastic!<\/p>\n<p>My husband was with me prompting me along the way and communicating with the staff. Close to midnight we told them I was ready to go to the delivery suite. I walked down there between surges and my membranes soon released. I had some more time in the shower and by 1am the midwife called for my obstetrician. With my husband still prompting me and keeping me on track I gave birth naturally at 1.20am to my 8p12oz (3.97kg) baby boy.<\/p>\n<p>Right from birth Brycen has been alert but also a calm and contented baby that smiles heaps, and I\u2019m sure my positive Hypnobirthing experience, along with me being a 2<sup>nd<\/sup> time Mum has helped enormously.<\/p>\n<p>Even my obstetrician who has been practicing for 18 years told me how amazingly in control I was.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks Melissa for teaching us the techniques, you don\u2019t know until the time which ones you\u2019ll call on, but I\u2019m so glad we had the tools.
