Just wondering if you took any hypnobirthing/relaxation/yoga classes to be able to be so clam and relaxed? And did you feel any pain or just discomfort?
Yes, I used a 12 week preparation course that teaches how to become very good at relaxation, how to stay healthy and low risk, how to avoid unneccessary pain and how to deal with any pain that is left, how your body works during labour so you can let go and get out of the way and let your body do what it's designed so perfectly to do. It also trains your partner in doula skills so that what you started together you can birth together (an awesome family bonding time). And it helps learn good communication skills with each other and with your birth team, so that you can work together as a team, and make informed decisions in labour.

I used it for all 3 of my births and for all 3 would describe my contractions as painless. I think some people using this preparation describe no pain, some mild pain and some hard pain but all say it is manageable.

It has worked so well for me that I am training to teach it.
