I used Hypnobabies, which is a home study course I ordered online. I tried a calmbirthing course as well but shouldnt have. We didnt go back to the 2nd day. I enjoyed hypnobabies more. DS1 was a drug free vaginal breech birth (until 3rd stage). Ds2 was an induction with only gas on low for the last hour or so, but we had other issues there, obviously. I didnt finish the course before DS1 was born and it was still helpful.

I loved learning the techniques during pregnancy. It helped me bond with baby and manage my anxiety.

In addition, we also had an IM, which made a huge difference to our birth experiences.
