He was posterior (despite over a month of trying to turn him!) so the labour was a little drawn out, and the last few hours felt like one continuous contraction, BUT Luke and mum were awesome and reminded me to breathe, and I repeated &#8220;every surge brings my baby closer to me&#8221; over and over in my head <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-smiley\" src=\"..\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/icon_wink.gif\" alt=\";)\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I can definitely say the main difference Hypnobirthing gave me is that with Elijah&#8217;s (our first) birth, I felt more and more anxiety as it approached, then spent the labour telling myself it would be the most painful day of my life and that I didn&#8217;t want to do it, so of course, I &#8220;failed to progress&#8221; and ended up needing an emergency cesarean. With this birth, I felt more and more excited as the day approached, and when I realised I was in labour I couldn&#8217;t be happier! I listened to my affirmations, relaxations and soft music, had a bath with some essential oils, and basically had a ball being pampered while we waited to leave for the hospital hehe.
