have the birth that we\u00a0hoped for\u00a0to bring our little boy into the world.\u00a0 Even though it wasnt always easy, it went very smoothly and we were very calm and happy throughout the whole thing.\u00a0 Victor was so aware when he was born and was breastfeeding well within minutes.\u00a0 He has been a calm and content baby and im sure that the pregnancy and birth contributed to this.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">The labour at 38 weeks and 5 days went like this&#8230;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">I woke about 430 am with some mild pain that I thought was constipation.\u00a0\u00a0About 30 mins later\u00a0I had some bleeding which made me realise that labour had started!\u00a0 Was great timing as I had only packed my hospital bag the day before!\u00a0 I think now that I actually laboured through my sleep as in the afternoon I felt very mild backache for a few mins and then a feeling that something was going to happen.\u00a0 I told myself I was being silly and that its a first baby, it will definitely not happen til 40 weeks.\u00a0 But that feeling ended up being right!<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Straight away\u00a0after the bleeding my\u00a0surges were\u00a0coming every 5 mins. \u00a0I tried to relax on the bed to listen to the cd but found lying down very uncomfortable so just sat and did my breathing and relaxation on the couch.\u00a0 By 7am the surges were getting quite strong and closer together.\u00a0 I wouldnt say that the surges were pain\u00a0free but\u00a0were very easy to handle, they reminded me of strong period pains.\u00a0 At this stage I was worried as even though I knew hypnobirths could be very quick I had expected it to be at least a few hours\u00a0til my surges were at the 5 min stage.\u00a0 I called the midwife and we decided to go in to the hospital, arriving there around 8-830.\u00a0 By the time I was there the surges were coming every few mins apart.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">The next few hours really seems like such a blur now.\u00a0 I remember finding the position that worked for me best, which was sitting on a chair between the surges just resting with my eyes closed and breathing, to going down on all fours on a mat during the surges.\u00a0 My partner knelt with me and\u00a0I held onto him while concentrating on my breathing.\u00a0 He had planned on reading the affirmations from a piece of paper, but that was difficult as he was holding onto me.\u00a0 But I knew during the pregnancy that he had not done a lot of preparation and so I had always prepared myself mentally to cope without his verbal cues, and I think this allowed me to do this on the day successfully.\u00a0 I found that all I needed was his touch and just holding onto him helped me a great deal, the rest was all\u00a0up to me!\u00a0 Even with a woman in the next room who screamed every surge for hours, I never lost my focus and never felt any fear.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">The rest of the labour was very much spent inside my head with little communication with others.\u00a0 The midwives barely even spoke to me, at the time\u00a0I wondered why but my husband said it was because I was so calm that they just hung back and let me do it all by myself.\u00a0 The surges were very intense the last hour or\u00a0so and\u00a0I found myself automatically thinking about the baby moving down the birth path.\u00a0 As\u00a0I\u00a0had not had any\u00a0internal examinations I had no idea how dilated\u00a0I was or if this was the right thing to do at this time, but\u00a0I found I\u00a0couldnt help it!\u00a0 Each surge\u00a0I breathed and focused on him moving into place.\u00a0 I vomited quite a lot of times between\u00a0the surges as the birth got closer, but always remained calm and focused.\u00a0 I never once thought about having any pain medication, I think the worst that I thought at any time was Oh god I dont know if I can do this all day long.\u00a0 And the main reason I thought that was because I really had no idea how long until the baby was going to come, I didnt realise that I\u00a0was already\u00a0in the very advanced stages of labour!<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">I had always had the option of a water birth and about 11am I asked the midwife to fill the bath to see if I would like it or not.\u00a0 Lucky that I\u00a0did\u00a0ask then\u00a0as 15 mins after I got in the bath Victor arrived!\u00a0 It was only a few surges where I felt an intense burning feeling and the urge to push.\u00a0 I wasnt sure what I should be doing and asked the midwife who told me to just do what felt right.\u00a0 I knew my waters hadnt broken yet and with one very strong surge I couldnt help but push and felt the waters breaking.\u00a0 I realised as soon as it had happened that not only had the waters broken but Victor had also arrived!\u00a0 A very small 6 lb 2!\u00a0 It was a shock to the midwives and my husband who quickly scooped him out of the water.\u00a0 He looked straight up at my face, completely aware.\u00a0 The second he was on my chest he started to feed and with a very strong suck already!<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Unfortunately I did tear a little and need stitches,\u00a0but I think if I had of held off on pushing and just tried to breathe him down that may not have happened.\u00a0 This is where more preparation from my husband would have helped a lot!\u00a0 After the birth I remember saying to my husband that I felt I had failed a little with my hypnobirth, that I didnt think I looked like the other mums on the videos I had seen.\u00a0 But I realised that the hard work was all in my mind after he told me that even though I was more active during the labour, I was just as calm, focused and in control as the others and that I should be very proud of myself.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Looking back I know for sure that Hypnobirthing was the reason that our birth was so smooth without any complications or distress and with no need for any pain medication.\u00a0 All the midwives came to congratulate me on such a great birth, so I know that we were successfull!\u00a0\u00a0And with such a great birth I was not too tired which helped me cope very well in those first few days.\u00a0 I also never had any baby blues at all!\u00a0I have only good memories of birth and feel very lucky to have found Melissa and Hypnobirthing.\u00a0 And Victor has had the best start in life that he possibly could which is the most important part!<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Sharon and Brett, Bray Park, (near Byron Bay \/
