Positive Caesarean Birth for My Second Baby – with Hypnobubs!<\/h3>\n

My first baby was born 5 weeks early by emergency caesarean. I had antenatal classes booked in for the following weekend so wasnt prepared at all for the birth, nor had I even considered that I might have a casearean. I had no idea what a caesarean entailed and didnt have time to do any reasearch before I was wheeled into the operating theatre. It was a very traumatic experience for me which I believe impacted greatly on being able to bond with my daughter. I swore I would never have a caesarean again.<\/p>\n

A VBAC was offered for my second pregnancy but after much consideration my partner and I decided the safest option for our second baby was by planned caesarean. A friend suggested calm birthing so I did some research and found Melissa’s online positive caesarean course<\/a>.\"Positive<\/a><\/p>\n

After the first module I already felt more positive and openminded about the whole experience.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The course changed my mindset from focusing on my fear of the surgery to meeting my baby and holding him in my arms for the first time. I repeated the postitive affirmations daily which helped to change my mindset.<\/p>\n

The caesarean went a hundred times better than what I could’ve ever imagined, I can’t believe just how calm and relaxed I was.<\/p>\n

The actual operation didn’t phase me at all. My partner even commented that I was smiling when he came into the operating theatre and I was much calmer than last time.<\/p>\n

It was a couple of hours wait before I went into surgery but I wasnt nervous at all, more excited that later that day I would have a baby! I listened to the positive affirmations track while waiting to go into surgery and then butterfly garden<\/a> to block out distractions while the doctors were prepping me. The next thing I knew my baby boy was out and I could not stop smiling.<\/p>\n

The fear release track helped me to let go of my fear of the surgery and the thought of all the pushing and pulling which freaked me out last time.<\/p>\n

A couple of weeks on, I can only think of positive thoughts about this birth, where as last time I was still thinking about the surgery and replaying over and over in my mind the whole unpleasant experience.<\/p>\n

I can’t thank Melissa enough for giving me the opportunity to release my fears so I could focus on the most important thing – the joy of meeting my baby. I have already reccommended the Hypnobubs Positive Cesarean Online Course<\/a> to a couple of pregnant friends and will definately be using the tools for my next baby.<\/p>\n
