Hi Poppyfairy

I dont have a birth story written up so I will sum it up short and sweet.... I had an absolutely beautiful and amazing labour! It was more than I could ever have expected and just a fantastic and wonderful experience. It was nothing even remotely like all those horror stories that every second woman was so willing to share with me whilst I was pregnant, although since I have birthed our DD all now say 'oh yes I loved my labour too' . My mantra during my last few stages of pregnancy were fear=tension=pain.

Take every moment of your labour and birth and embrace it, it is such an amazing thing that your body can do and far too many beautiful women never get the precious opportunity. After 5 years TTTC I was adamant I was going to 'experience' every second of it.

Wishing you all the very best you could hope for with birthing your little one.

You sounds very positive, I am sure you will be fantastic.

Personally I have had 3 pain free and drug free births using HypnoBirthing/ Calmbirthing methods. During the last one my midwife actually had to ask if I was falling asleep or having contractions during the moments when I just shut my eyes and breathed deeply. (It was the latter, my twins arrived within an hour from her asking). With my second birth a midwife walked into the room to introduce herself, not realising I was having a 2nd stage contraction and was busy trying to breathe my baby out.

So yes, it is very possible. Just relax your body, have no fear, and enjoy your labour. Good luck

Hi all,
I just did a google search to find out about calmbirth and came across this thread. All your positive stories are so inspiring for a first time mum-to-be. Now I'm thinking the $400 for calmbirth classes will be worth the money if I am working towards a good experience.
Thank you,
Emily.

hi, i had 2 drugfree births even though my boys are older now i look back& remember the experense as a very positive i wasnt scared & best advice is go with your body & remember with every contraction is a step closer to seeing your baby im hoping when my next one comes in 3 weeks it will be a positive experence too

Hi Emily - I did a hypnobirthing course prior to birthing DS1 and I've had two incredible births. I felt empowered and in control during both births and achieved my aim to have my babies birthed drug free and without intervention (while under the care of an obstetrician and in a hospital environment). Hypnobirthing/calmbirthing is brilliant in taking away the "fear factor" and helping you achieve the self confidence to birth the way you want. You come out of the course knowing you can do it. Good luck.
