I visualised... not in detail but in baby and I working with the contractions (surges) and moving down the birth canal and out into the world. I think I was aware in my visualising that if I was set on a certain way I may have to deviate. My first was c/s... I didn't visualise anything, didn't know anything either lol. Second (VBAC) I did hypnobirthing and they teach visualisation but I did have to deviate and had vacuum assistance... so by the 3rd I think that is why I only visualised it as a successful VBAC2 but not the details... if that makes sense? Does it help... for me ABSOLUTELY without a doubt yes!
