i can and do still highly recommend calmbirth, even if you find yourself needing a repeat c-section. calmbirth works on the principle of letting your body produce as much oxytocin (happy love hormone) as possible to help alleviate pain in labour, but also to help create a calm, loving environment that transfers onto your baby. so for example while in theatre you use the same techniques as you would while labouring (touch, breathing, visualisation) and you get the good hormones pumping which bubby takes and helps with you guys having an empowered birth moment and increased success of bonding in those early hours and days.
we used calmbirth for my second birth and it was amazing. i still use the techniques whenever i feel stressed or bubby is stressed, amazing stuff!
