Long story short...
Attended a hypnobirthing class on the weekend, and got taught the up/down breathing method.
Essentially - you "breathe" the baby out using downward breaths and let your body do the work, only pushing if YOU need to and not on the basis that midwives shout "pusssshhhh!!!" as per all TV, film footage of birth.
I'm confused, please can someone (who has had a baby fairly recently advise) is this new methodology?
