An invaluable tool for my perfect birth! |
Date Posted: 17/05/2012 |
| I would strongly recommend the Natal Hypnotherapy CD. So many people have negative birth stories to tell but I am convinced that my birth went so well because I prepared effectively for it. The CD has a little pamphlet which is comprehensive but concise and gives you everything you need to know to help you relax and realise that we were perfectly designed to have babies.
I had the natural, home birth of my dreams without medication, after being terrified of giving birth after watching ‘One Born Every Minute’.
I practiced with the CD almost every day for either 40 minutes or 15 minutes depending on how much time I had. When I went into labour, I was very confident that my body would be able to birth my baby, just as my body knew how to grow my baby. I knew that my body was perfectly designed to have my baby, if only I would relax!
I listened to the CD when I first went into labour. I had my favourite chilled tunes playing in the background throughout my active labour and the lights in the room were dimmed with fairy lights creating a calm atmosphere. The water was invaluable but the self-hypnosis gave me absolute confidence that I could do it. The Natal Hypnotherapy gave me a battery of tools to help me relax. Because I was well prepared and had practiced the techniques, these tools came to me easily and naturally when I was in labour.
There were several different visualisations that I used in conjunction with my breathing, for example I imagined a dial which could turn the intensity of the contraction down from 10 to 1. It gave my mind something to do other than panicking or focusing on the sensations. The sensations were definitely stronger than I ever imagined! Despite this, I found that I had all the tools to help me deal with the pain. The ‘natal hypnotherapy’ CD promoted the idea that the sensations could be enjoyed. After each contraction, I knew the importance of welcoming each sensation as opposed to dreading it as I knew that it was bringing me closer to my baby.
My Mum was very sceptical about the benefits of using hypnotherapy for birth but she is now a firm convert and tells everyone how wonderful it was and how calm I was! The midwives could not believe it was my first baby. They said I looked like an old pro! Having such a smooth confident delivery without medication enabled me to be up and about very quickly. People couldn’t believe it when I put her in the sling two days after giving birth and went for a walk with my husband, our first family outing! |

So positively calming |

| My cd arrived today, and even after only listening to it once I felt incredibly calm and positive about the thought of giving birth again. Well worth it for those who want to experience birth as a relaxed and controlled event. |
