I am 29 weeks and am one class done out of a 4 class hypnobirthing course. Before the course began last week, I'd read Sheila Kitzinger, Maggie Howell and a bit of Mongan.
Everyone says you should practice the techniques and I am wondering what you did if you practised?
I plan to listen to the affirmations while doing my birthing ball exercises. Have also been going to sleep with a full body audio relaxation that ends with the birth. I generally feel quite upbeat about the birth. After todays class will possibly have breathing exercises to practice and DH will have some scripts to rehearse with me - all of which I plan to club together with my birthing ball time to save time.
Anything else? Or does practice mean something different? All experiences welcome.
