Firstly I wanted to say a huge thank you as H's birth was an amazing experience and our hypnobirthing definitely played a big part in that I'm sure.
H arrived on the 5th December, one day after his due date. I realised contractions had started at 6am, stayed in bed till 7, and then it all went very quickly from there. Contractions were much more
frequent and intense than I had expected for that stage, and the midwife came in for my 8.30am appointment and suggested she examine me at about 9.15, by which time I was already 4cm dilated. We went
off to Wexham and H arrived at 3.50 that afternoon, things slowed down slightly when we got to hospital, but it was all far quicker than I had expected given this was our first baby. We had the hypno
scripts playing throughout and the midwives were so respectful of our birth plan it was great. I was able to get completely in the zone and just use gas and air.
