Hypno-birth anyone?

[IsabelleCanada]

well, I'm ready... I've read the books, listened to the CD and taken the hypnosis birthing class with my husband...

We've even arranged to have a hypno-birthing specialist doula present at the birth to "put me under" and help me with pain managment through suggestion and relaxation/breathing techniques that I've been practicing.

Gosh I hope this all works and I don't end up begging for an epidural!

I'm psyched about having this amazing experience... I just hope that my fears and all the negative birth stories I've heard throughout my life don't make me doubt my ability to birth this baby naturally once the "contractions" start...

anyone else have experience with hypno-birthing?

Hi Amanda, I will tell you all about it ... the book I've read and the techniques I'm following are from the Mongan Method, very simple and interesting...

By the way, I've been following your posts and I'm so psyched for you! I've been praying for you, as many of us have... this is your time, this is it!
