Toward the end of my pregnancy, Hypnobabies helped me have a sense of peace about when my daughter would be born. I was significantly dilated and effaced and experiencing waves before the birth, and my midwife said that my baby would likely be coming early. But my doula, Lindsay McCoy, reminded me that we do not give birth by numbers. Lindsay was right!
On the day after our guess date, I noticed some discharge around 11 AM and thought that perhaps my water had broken. (It turned out that it had not.) I called my midwives, but I did not want to go to the hospital yet because I was not having waves. I took a nap that day (luckily!). I then started having waves around 3 PM but still wasn’t sure if this was the “real thing.” I felt relaxed and had a big dinner (again, luckily!).
