Thanks heaps for your replies. I posted this same question on another parenting forum I go on and was a bit shocked with the replies. Alot dont beleive that the positivity can have an affect before labour....but they believe it can happen in laabour.
Personally I am a big believer in focused positive thinking and I believe if you focus on the intent then you can create ANYTHING to happen for you.
Before, during and after labour and in fact with any aspect of your life.
I find it funny how some are adamant that your mental state can affect your labour but it cant possibly have an effect before that. How do they come to that conclusion??
Anyway you guys are all believers like me so thats great and does help me be a little more positive while I feel fragile hehe. (though I understand each to their own too )
Bec - I have indeed looked into hynobirthing and calmbirthing and have been practising the techniques for a while. I also have done meditation for years so have that whole concept formed in my head anyway. I have some great cd's for the calmbirthing and alos loads of stuff I have read. It's been great. I also work with aromatherapy as well which helps.
Kelly - I totally understand what you are saying re the wildcard effects in labour. I had thought that and figured well, I will just have to go with the flow when the time comes. I can only hope and remain focused that the work i have done these past few months is going to be my strongest attribute and no fear will creep in.
I am also finding that the past few days I am very emotional and negative because of that emotion so I am trying to be much more positive. I have to tell myself that I am not going to be stupidly overdue and that things are going to go well. The acu is benefiting me so I know thats only working in my favour.
