Congratulations on your successful water delivery. I have learned a lot from here and I hope I can use this lesson in the future. How old is your baby already? Thank you very much for sharing this information to everyone.

These are excellent points! I struggled for a long time over the question of whether or not to purchase the Hypnobabies course (would have loved a live class if we had one in our area!), but in the end I can see that it was worth the investment. While I didn’t pay for an individual’s time, the time and energy that went into the high quality materials we received was worth what I paid for it and more! Thank you for the tips!

Saturday morning at 2am I was woken by my first intense contraction that I had to breathe through. I stayed in bed until 4am when they became regular at 15 minutes apart. By the time I got up in the morning they were at 10 minutes. I texted our midwife at 7.30am and she said she’d come up in the afternoon as she’d done another night shift and would sleep until lunch time. Over breakfast, Hayesey and I decided in 2 minutes on a girls and a boys name. Only took us 9 months! I continued to leak amniotic fluid during the day and have 10 minute contractions. I usually sat on the fit ball as I could rock my pelvis around and it felt comfortable and supportive.
