Hmm, I'll have to go read about hypnobirthing now!

I was also wondering about mummypink and also Jark?? I know Jark needed some space but hoping all is ok.
My sister used hypnobirthing for her son. She ended up requiring a C/S but she got to 9cm with the hypnobirthing and swears by it.

HBP glad you reminded me about the sleep thing, I often hear myself complaining how far away things seem but I know it will all be a distant blur and I will be craving the sleep I am getting now Once she is here so thank you for your timely reminder Im so happy things are going well and your birth sounds lovely too. I cant wait to see more pics of our new babies x

Hi lovely ladies, sorry I've not been on for ages I've been super busy and don't seem to have a second to get anything done at the moment.

HBP - Huge congrats on your beautiful princess!!! xxx

I've not had chance to read all the posts I've missed but hope everyone is ok.

I'm feeling a bit more organised but need to get my hospital bag and things sorted out this week. I keep getting a lot of pressure and pains that make me worry labour is going to start soon, really don't want this little man to come early! Hope he can wait until my mum comes over which isn't until a day before my due date so cutting it close eeekkk!!
I'm not worried about labour, I'm just worried about what we will do with the boys if I go into labour before she is here. We have a couple of friends who have offered to help out but obviously you can't guarantee they aren't going to be at work or something when the time comes. My labours were pretty fast with my first two and as we have about an hour to get to the hospital I'm just hoping we can get there in time!

I used hypno birthing techniques with my first two and swear by it, I just listen to a CD prior to labour. I didn't have any other form of pain relief other than acupuncture. xx

Congrats HBP!! Willow is absolutely beautiful!!!

I can't believe if this baby goes to term I have 6 more OB appts left. Wow... What a reality check that is for me. I'm still so not ready. Anyone else not ready?

So this hypnobirthing thing...do I have to read a book to prepare? Can I just start listening to a cd and practicing breathing? I only have 4 weeks or so....so take time reading or start some sort of practice breathing immediatley?

I got the book titled "HypnoBirthing, The Mongan Method" which i have nearly finished reading, then i will be practicing the techniques over and over until it becomes easy. Check your library or bookstores and get a copy asap. There are also lots of videos on youtube that you can learn from.

How exciting mrshonyez, do you have everything ready?

Such a lovely dream Rosie I wish I was having dreams about this little one but haven't had any. I had loads with ds3.

Xx

I think I have everything ready... I have my hospital bag packed minus the daily essentials I use, all his clothes washed and hung, pretty much all I have to do is pull out the swing and clean it, and set up the bouncer I got! I also plan to install the car seat in the next few days (probably after this big winter storm that is supposed to hit!). I can't believe how soon it is coming up though! Maybe I should read into the hypnobirthing stuff too...

Yes i am enjoying the read, i have to wait till DD is asleep and i have my cup of RRL tea so i get a bit sleepy but i should finish it off tonight. It explains the whole concept really well and it really makes a lot of sense, i keep having doubts like oh i cant do that, but there are positive affirmations in there also to help deal with that. As soon as i start practicing the techniques i think i will become more confident with it all. You get a CD with the book too so i cant wait to give it a listen too.

Ok ladies if u have the book I asume u don't have the cd? I couldn't find my cd this time but found this link.... Hypno Birthing : Free Download & ********* : Internet Archive. Dh downloaded it to our comp then put it on my iPod, basically I listened to it every night for the last 5wks I used to just fall asleep with it on, the idea is to listen to it whilst in Labour you want to use the rainbow relaxation for sleeping/Labour but there are also birthing affimations u can listen too during the day! Hope this helps guys xx
