“Hi Bernie I have been meaning to e-mail you, N arrived at 8pm exactly, 36 weeks 4lbs 2oz. I went into spontaneous labour, I thought I had indigestion when I woke up that morning. I spent a few hours at home having brekkie and chatting with my parents, decided to go to hospital and check if all was ok about 1pm. Had trace and heartbeat was fine. Then they performed VE and I was fully effaced so they admitted me. My sister went and got us lunch and I asked for a ball as I didn’t have anything like that with me. I sat on ball and chatted to my sister and my husband came in around 3.30. I used the shower a few times, I had my birth preferences in a folder but had never discussed these with anyone. So talked them through with midwife. About 5.30 midwife asked if I would like to be examined again to consider moving to delivery room. I said ok, after the examination we walked to the delivery room and on the way midwife asked was I doing hypnobirthing. I used my breathing all the time and honestly felt relaxed and calm throughout. My waters went in the delivery room (naturally) and there was meconium so I had CTG. I delivered our little girl vaginally, tried gas and air in delivery room but didn’t like it. Labour couldn’t have gone better! .... …. N was discharged last week so we are finally enjoying time at home and I’m delighted. Thanks for the class and for staying in touch. I found the last few weeks of pregnancy very stressful and the whole programme really helped me to stay calm and focus on the positive. I’m so thrilled to have my gorgeous little girl here now.
