I just did part one of a four part Hypnobirthing course (which made complete sense) and am interested to see how others who have experienced pain-free surges describe their labours ('birthing processes'). We watched some birth videos and were startled (in a good way) at how calm and relaxed they were! Not that I want horror stories or stories to the contrary, but I am interested to hear from people who would describe their surges as painfree (which doesn't necessarily mean sensation free of course, as most on the videos used words like intense, tight, pressure etc.), but tell me about your experience of a pain-free labour?
