I did the Mongan method course with a practitioner and thought it was great! I think that the second time it was even better. I remember being in my own little world and coming out of it when I wanted a drink or something. Total labour 12 hours from 9 mins to birth. This out of my 3 was my ONLY time I birthed completely intervention free so for me my first "real" full labour. First was c/s, second was VBAC but was vacuum assisted and third... all on our own I found HB to be sooooo helpful and recommend it to everyone!
