I had a difficult and long labour & birth with DD (now 4) and I'm 20 weeks pregnant with DC2. I'm completely terrified of going through with it again, even to the point where I've discussed going down the elective C section route with my midwife. Alternatively, possibly hypnobirthing. I'm a little sceptical though, as when pregnant with DD I listened to pregnancy relaxation CDs etc but when labour began that was all completely useless as I was in way too much pain to focus on anything.
Anyway, I'd really appreciate your story on whether you found hypnobirthing useful and if you can recommend classes in London (not too far from central London) that are not too expensive? Thank you!
