Hi everyone - a while back I posted about Hypnobirthing and decided to get DH and I on a course for it. Quite a few of you asked me to come back on here and let you know what I thought about it.
Did the first session (of two) yesterday and I can honestly say that it is fantastic! The reasoning behind it is very logical and makes sense and I can honestly say that having done the relaxation classes during the day and playing the rainbow cd before bed, I hardly woke up at all last night and for the first time that I can remember, woke up feeling so unbelievably refreshed!
There is one element of it I will struggle with (and that is relying on DH to support me through the birth; it gives the birthing partner a critical role and not one I had thought about DH having); but aside from that, the tools that it is giving us to cope with the labour are second to none! Highly recommend it to those who are toying with going on a course themselves!
