Baby Hector
February 2008 - Baby Hector "No doubt about it. That HypnoBirthing is great stuff!"
Philipa had a traumatic first birth, and wanted her second to be different. So she chose a HypnoBirth. Here's what she wrote.
“I
was having lots of braxton hicks on the evening before. Then during the
night they were accompanied by a light ache. I slept through them, not
thinking that they were surges. I got up at 6.30a.m. and they were
coming every 4-5 minutes. I went in to the birthing centre at the
hospital. The midwife left us to it and complied with any of our
wishes. I used slow breathing during the surges and my husband used
light touch massage and lots of lovely prompts. I lost the plot on the
birthing stage and ended up doing a few pushes! Well, Hector arrived
very calmly, and has continued to be a very calm, relaxed baby. I have
no doubt that his birth played a huge part in this. HypnoBirthing
worked really well for me, after having had a traumatic first delivery.
This time, I was very calm and under control. Lots of people in the
hospital commented on this!
No doubt about it, that HypnoBirthing is great stuff!.”
