The midwives commented how Calm and in control I was.<\/p>\n<p>At one stage my contractions really slowed but listening to my rainbow relaxation relaxed me and sped them up again<\/p>\n<p>The only thing I regret is that as i progressed I didn&#8217;t trust my instincts. I went very slowly to 5cm or 6 cm then rocketed through to 10cm once I got into the bath. I knew I needed to push but didn&#8217;t think I could have progressed 4cm in 25 mins. This made me panic a bit but it was fine once I got the ok to push and we all got there in the end!<\/p>\n<p>The other thing that was clear was that when I relaxed things moved so much more quickly. I think Hypnobirthing gave me some tools to relax and take control of what was happening. It also gave me the confidence to even attempt a vaginal birth which was a big step for me given all the horror stories I&#8217;d been told!<\/p>\n<p>I am so happy we didn&#8217;t use drugs apart from a bit of gas and air in the late stages. Jocelyn breastfeed straight away and, from birth, has been so aware and engaged but also calm.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for your help and support.<\/p>\n<p>Lisa Michael and Little Miss Jocelyn<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-3458\" src=\"https:\/\/hypnobirthingaustralia.com.au\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/530085_10150662942147149_360037147148_9588639_1951050310_n-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I relaxed things moved so much more quickly.
