Hypnobirthing?
Hi Ladies
I am 17 +1 and thinking about starting Hypnobirthing classes. I have heard brilliant reviews but no negative reviews so far........does anyone have any opinions on Hypnobirthing?
Many thanks

I'm 31+5 so when the time comes I'll let you know how it went!

I really recommend Hypnobirthing & wished I'd done it for my first bb...1st birth was hell as I decided to go with the flow & hadn't prepared any pain relief apart from what I could get at hospital...2nd bb I listened to my hypnobirthing CD's & used a TENS machine I hired - I was totally in 'the zone' this time & have now passed the CD's onto my sister.
Now, I did laugh when I first listened to the CD's but when I calmed down & relaxed & listened to them they do help you to chill out & in labour they gave me something to concentrate on...I hate whale/dolphin music, like the type they have going at beauticians, but in labour it was really soothing, so much so that I had my bb 20 mins after arriving at hospital as I hadn't realised how far along I was! oops!
Even after birth the hypno stuff is helpful at calming you, I did the breathing exercise/mantra when I was driving on the motorway the other week as I was getting really tense as I hadn't driven on the motorway for a while!
Good Luck!
Can you tell me.....was it a 'pain free' labour? Alot of women's birth stories (those that have done the Hypnobirthing) say they had a pain free labour but I just cant believe this! lol xx
I havent had my baby yet but upto now - if I get the natural birth I want...I feel great about it and have a real "I can do this" attitude.
*fingers crossed* that my placenta has moved out of the way and I can really try out hypnobirthing.
