Hello!
Just wondering if anyone has used hypnobirthing with an induction with the hormone drip and how that went?
I am currently pregnant with dc2. I am going to be under a consultant due to last birth, (shoulder dystocia, traumatic birth after induction with pessary and hormone drip). The mw said that it is likely I will be induced at term or maybe term + one week as they think that DC1 was a little big for me (induced at term + two weeks), which explains the shoulder dystocia. I'm all for it, except, in an ideal world I'd go into labour spontaneously and hypnobirth my way through a lovely, whale song, water birth .
If I'm going to be induced early, I suspect they will need the hormone drip? If so, I'd like to avoid an epidural this time round as I hated being immobile last time. But I am wondering; is hypnobirthing likely to work as an alternative to an epidural with a hormone drip? I think hypnobirthing is all to do with your body's natural contractions / surges? Hormone drip (from my hazy memory) isn't so natural.
I also have to have IV anti-biotics during labour due to previous strep b baby.
