Hello ladies. I am new on here... preggers with my first babe and finishing up HypnoBirthing classes. I know it sort of goes against the whole thing, but I am all of a sudden very afraid. The whole concept makes perfect sense to me and I agree with it all, so I dont know where this is coming from other then people who love to tell you their horror stories about birth (I work at an OB's office :doctor. We are meeting with our teacher today for a fear-release session since we are due in only 15 days! My question is this: how often and much did you practice your breathing and cds, alone or with your hubby/coach? I am wondering if I am doing it enough. We dont do the scripts much since it is all on my cds, but my big fear right now is that I wont be able to 'go deep' enough or stay that way during labour. Any advice from someone who has actually birthed using it is GREATLY appreciated! Have a wonderful day,
Michele
