\"HypnobubOur lovely little boy William (“Billy”) Clancy was born on 18 November 2012.<\/div>\n
We had to book an induction and in the lead up to the date I tried to bring on the birth naturally. \u00a0I found the Hypnobirthing cd, visualisations and relaxation helped me remain calm at what could have been a stressful time full of acupuncture appointments, curry eating, walking etc.<\/div>\n
After the artificial membrane rupture we requested not to have the synto straight away and I laboured in the early labour ward at the Mater from about 9 am til about 4pm. This was a lovely private and peaceful time of Hypnobirthing in a “cave”with dim lighting and calm music.<\/div>\n
We ended up moving to a birth suite and having the synto drip around 5pm or so and things got more intense. I was proud of our work to have got as far along before going on the drip. I found the affirmation “my body will remain limp and still” especially useful at this time and I remained calm through the intensity. I ended up using gas and found I could combine this with the surge breathing.<\/div>\n
At around 9 cm dilated I was pushing uncontrollably which was probably due to the baby’s position, and an epidural was suggested which I agreed to (it took a while to happen though). Ultimately the baby’s heartbeat showed fatigue and he was rotated with a ventouse cap. The attempt to pull him out that way failed. The doctor then used forceps to assist and our little one was born.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
While it was not a textbook hypnobirth, the techniques were still very helpful, and Billy is certainly a hypnobub! Everyone marvels at how placid and alert he is. He smiles beautifully at strangers and melts their hearts!<\/div>\n
\n
Thank you very much for your course in Paddington last August.<\/div>\n
