Hi all
I had a very traumatic first labour and birth experience with my DS who is now 7 years old. Currently 27 weeks pregnant with baby number 2, and yes the big age gap is partly due to how long it took me to physically and emotionally recover from that first experience!
I'm planning a home birth despite being classed as high risk (due to previous cesarean) however I'm still in two minds about this due to the risk. I have a doula. I've just started a hypnobirthing course, however, I'm a bit skeptical of the whole "hypnobirthing births are always amazing and pain free and faster" etc. I feel this could set me up to feel a complete failure if things do hurt or end up not being completely natural.
I'd love to hear others hypnobirthing experiences, both positive and not so positive, just to help me get my head around it all!
I'm really not sure what else to do to prepare for birth this time around....
