Joey, how did you enjoy your first day yesterday?? Are you doing the course with Leanne Jackson?? I think you are as she is now on Bribie - well Beachmere. We just did our refresher with her last weekend. Gotta love her, rambles a little at times but a lovely lady
Rayray, there is actually no difference between calmbirthing and hypnobirthing. I asked our practitioner the other day. She said it was just a difference of opinion with the guy who started the calmbirthing in Australia and the lady from USA who brought the course out here and the guy from Aust wanting it to be less "Americanised" and so they went their separate ways....so the only real difference is yes, less American and the name.
Hi. Yes, our course was really good. I actually left the place excited about giving birth and I now have an "I can't wait" attitude to going into labour. We have our second and final day next Saturday, so really looking forward to it. Most days when I get home from work, I just drop everything and go straight to my room, lie down, and put on the rainbow relaxation cd. most of the time it puts me to sleep for about an hour and then I feel refreshed and able to make it through to bedtime!!
I really hope that this course will help me get the natural and drug free birth that I am after.
Thats great Joey!!!
Can't wait to hear whther the hypnobirthing classes pay off on the day of your labour. I start mine in 2 weeks.... Looking forward to it!
That's great joey! It's really empowering I think. I have days where I"m like...I just need to listen to Aaron now...lol (that's the cd I have and he's got this beautiful calming voice - I love it). Was it Leanne that you went to?
She is great. I really like her. Oh yeah those videos are ancient huh! A lot to do with not being allowed to tape things in most hossy's anymore apparently. At least they give you an idea I guess. You could probably find some newer ones on youtube I reckon. I only just thought of that then.
