I went alone to the HypnoBirthing course tonight as Alan is out of town. I wish he could have been there as we did the birthing plans. Actually, it was a hand out and we just check off things we do or don't want. If anyone wants a copy let me know, and I will scan and email it to you!
This class was really empowering and I am ready to do this. I can honestly say that I am no longer scared or nervous to give birth. I think I will always fear any "special circumstances" (emergencies) that can arise, but this is normal I am sure. I am ready for a natural childbirth though.
If you have any questions on what Hypnobirthing is or what it entails, please ask me. The desciptions online can be vague and seem very new age, and really is just about knowing our body and what to expect, and how to relax to let your body do as it is naturally designed to do so!!!
I would like a copy. I need to do a birthplan and have no idea where to start.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind one either. I have a few templates, but every little helps.
ReplyDeleteEspecially since mine will practically be an essay with a section on natural, one on breech and one on ceasarean possibilities. It's a bit overwhelming!
I'm so happy you aren't frightened. A lot of the reasons why women are scared about child birth are because they are uneducated and because of how certain doctors and nurses explain a birth being a medical emergency of sorts; hospital room, bright lights, hustle and bustle, medications, montiors, machines etc.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you found a way to make this an exciting, enjoyable experience.
