Wow, three posts already today . . . My HypnoBabies home study course just arrived. Yes, I admit it. I'm a bit obsessed with natural birthing.
Despite a valiant attempt, I did not have a natural birth with my son. That failed for a variety of reasons, primarily 1) a doctor who was not encouraging of a natural experience and 2) serious dehydration (I apparently puke a lot from labor pain) that caused my contractions to stop after my water had been broken for over 24 hours. Overall, it wasn't a bad birth experience. With massive amounts of pitocin and an epidural I was able to have an almost 10 pound baby vaginally with less than 30 minutes of pushing. And he arrived into the world safely - which is all anyone can ever really ask for. But . . .
Here I am, yet again, hoping to get to attempt a completely natural birth experience. I'm a bit skeptical of self-guided hypnosis to manage labor. But I have heard wonderful things about the HypnoBabies program. (Not to be confused with HypnoBirthing - similar principles but fairly different programs.) We'll see how it goes . . .
