Wendy was visualizing her birth with just her and her hubby in the birth tub in the backyard and she pushes out the baby alone with the midwife coming right after the baby is born. Angela was her doula, but she asked me to come (with Wendy’s approval) as Angela was 9 months pregnant herself.

I am just now getting around to writing Emmaline’s birth story, even though she was born on March 18th.

Because I want to be totally honest about my

DH was out of town Tues-Thursday afternoon. I went to Pajama Book Club Thursday Night (nothing better than chocolate, deep discussion and comfy clothes). I tried to get into bed at a reasonable hour. It was closer to midnight. The phone rang at 3:43. I was home by 9:43 later that morning. I knew that

Hypnobabies did loads to help, but it wasn’t a totally quiet birthing, so be aware! We had a real sloooooow start (5-6 days of stop/start), but then a super fast finish, so prodromal labour might just be useful after all! I was checked at 40+2 and was 1-2cm dilated, cervix thin and soft. Sounded good.

To begin, I didn’t have the money for hypnobabies and wound up using the book about hypnobirthing with the CD. My husband was gone a lot, and really did not participate in this preparation. I think a formal course or home-study course would have been preferable, but you do the best that you can. My

I was watching a birth video and it gave a warning that it was going to show a cesarean. “Turn off now if you don’t want to see a graphic cesarean” Well, I was curious so I watched. It wasn’t pretty, it was graphic and it made me hurt to watch it. I felt it

Hypnobabies was so helpful in my VBAC. I know it may sound silly to use hypnosis, but I feel like it made a big difference in my birth experience. I never intended (or even wanted) to have a pain-free birthing experience. What I wanted was to clear my mind of the self-doubt that comes from

4 AM ?!?! Wow, things were just moving right along! A little while later, I was resting between contractions and I started wondering if someone had turned off the pitocin again because I felt like several minutes had gone by without anything happening. Literally, as I was finishing this thought, I heard Nichole say (to
