I honestly thought I was too far into my pregnancy to do it but for me, this was the best thing I could&#8217;ve done.<\/p>\n<p>Before the course, I was scared my anxiety would take over in labour and I didn&#8217;t want an epidural as I wanted to be in control of my body. Oh, how a weekend changed everything by educating me!<\/p>\n<p>In the weeks leading up to the birth I read affirmations everyday, even making my visitors read one with me on the way out, and listened to calming music. I wrote a birth plan and visioned how I wanted my birth to be. My anxiety turned to excitement.<\/p>\n<p>On 14th March, at 39+3 weeks, I had braxton hicks quite strong in the afternoon, I knew something was happening. At 5pm I started to feel tightening and cramping which was bearable. I rang the hospital about 9pm who advised me to take panadol and get some rest.<\/p>\n<p>By morning the waves had gone but my show and plug had arrived. I&#8217;d never been happier. 10am the surges started. I put on my music and bounced on the ball. I started practising breathing and visioning what was about to happen. At no point was I panicking, I was excited to meet my baby. Surges started to get stronger and I got out my tens machine and placed on my lower back. Every surge I turned the tens machine up and then down. At approx 2pm I knew it was time to go to hospital. After a 30 minute drive in, with an eye patch, tens and relaxation music the surges were strong and close together.\u00a0 I got a lot of funny looks on the walk from the car to the hospital and was offered a wheelchair twice but I was determined to walk in and be in control from the get go. This was my show.<\/p>\n<p>Once in the birth suite, I had a shower, breathing through the surges, waiting for my OB.<\/p>\n<p>3.30pm my OB arrived and I wanted to be assessed. To my delight, I was 7cms dilated!<\/p>\n<p>At that point, I asked for an epidural as I was a little apprehensive of what was to come. That&#8217;s when my partner stepped in. He reminded me that epidural wasn&#8217;t on my birth plan and to try something else, like gas. Which I\u00a0did. The gas definitely took the edge off and gave me something to focus on. I was eating Allen&#8217;s party mix in between surges.<\/p>\n<p>A few surges later I said to the midwife &#8220;when do you think my waters will break&#8221; and then right on queue a pop, a big gush of water, a feeling of relief and then everything ramped up. I focussed on the gas and my breathing for what felt like 20 mins and was actually an hour or so and then I felt my body take over, wanting to push. My body knew what to do. I said to the midwife I need to push. She called my OB, who was ordering dinner at the Cafe thinking I&#8217;d be longer!<\/p>\n<p>20 mins later, in walked the OB. I again said can I have an epidural. I didn&#8217;t want or need one, I just said it in the moment. She took one look at me and said &#8220;no epidural and we&#8217;re taking the gas because I can see baby&#8217;s head. It&#8217;s time to push.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I pushed for 15 mins, getting 3 big pushes in each surge. I was thinking to myself &#8220;you were born to do this. Each surge brings your baby closer to you&#8221; until I was advised baby&#8217;s heart rate was low and I&#8217;d need intervention in the way of vacuum or episiotomy.<\/p>\n<p>For most of the pushing stage I had my eyes closed but I happened to open them as a huge needle was going in, I&#8217;m assuming for a catheter, but I honestly didn&#8217;t care, I knew my baby was close. My partner said later he was hoping I didn&#8217;t see the size of it!<\/p>\n<p>The vacuum was attached and within a few more surges River was born at 7.32pm.<\/p>\n<p>River went straight to the boob and was content.<\/p>\n<p>The placenta was next and I was so fascinated by it, I had to have a look. Side note, I had my placenta encapsulated and I highly recommend it. My hormones were so level post-baby and I owe it to this process.\u00a0A few internal stitches, which felt like longer than the labour, a shower and we were then up in our room without Son.<\/p>\n<p>I look back and am thankful for the education of not only myself but my partner Mark. The way he stepped in and got me back on track was exactly what I needed and I think what hypnobirthing is all about. We really worked as a team to bring our baby into the world. I put into practice everything I had learnt and 3 months later, I&#8217;m still raving about my birth story and how amazing it was.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"ms-outlook-mobile-signature\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meaghan&#8217;s Birth Story I was made aware of hypnobirthing and did the weekend course when I was 34 weeks pregnant.
