Hi Ladies,

Im not sure if this is the same thing, I was so young when I did it...but I had hypnotherapy for my birth with DS. It was amazing!!!! My therapist gave me the choice of either feeling the pain and being able to cope with it, or not feeling the pain at all. I chose to feel the pain but no be bothered by it and to go inside myself...sort of self hypnotism. The experience was quite surreal actually. I could feel the contractions, but whilst they were happening I was able to visualise some of the things I saw in my head whilst I was hypnotised. I was actually hypnotised when I was in labour, it was a very calm and out of body experience! I was able to totally block out everything around me and focus on the images in my head. It was almost like I could see my path ahead of me and I travelled down it and listened to my inner voice the whole time. I highly recommend it.

Sorry if this is not what you are talking about.

Issy
