My name is Brooke and I had two boys delivered using the induction process and epidurals. After both deliveries I had lower back pain, wasn’t very happy, and it hurt to move around. We had a family doctor who we love help deliver Wyatt and Ethan. However she wanted to raise her own family so she cut back her hours and no longer did OB/GYN care. So for my third pregnancy we had to find a different provider. We originally went with a doctor in the same clinic however we just were not clicking, our personalities clashed and I didn’t feel like I was being taken care of. So a friend of mine told me about midwives so we decided to check out this type of care and fell in love with them. We were so happy with how much care they provided both for me and for my baby. This same friend also recommended Hypnobabies as well to make the birthing a special positive experience.
I was so amazed at how all these women could birth their babies using this technique and not be in pain, no backaches and be walking around great afterwards. So my husband and I decided we wanted a similar experience so at 25 weeks I began listening to the tracks and tried deep relaxation. I fell asleep listening to them almost every night. I was nervous I wasn’t doing something right so I would listen to fear clearing a few times. My husband also helped by reading me scripts and being very supportive.
I had gestational diabetes for the second time during this pregnancy. So I knew I would be induced at 39 weeks. I was trying to prepare myself for induction medication but made sure my midwives knew that I didn’t want anything else. My husband and myself went into labor and delivery on our scheduled time May 31st at 7:30am. It took awhile to get all settled in but by 10:30am they hooked me up to monitor the baby and gave me oral Cytotec. At this point I listed to fear clearing just to get all my worries at peace and begin relaxing. I also listened to Easy first stage and began getting into deep relaxation.
I was given Cytotec at 12:30 and at 2:30. My midwife checked me to see how I was progressing. The medicine was working really well so they decided to stop Cytotec and see what my body would do naturally. From 3:00-6:00 I had some nice calm pressure waves but nothing that was uncomfortable. I watched a little HGTV, took a nap and ate some food. Around 6:00pm nothing was happening so my midwife started a Pitocin drip. They increased Pitocin throughout the evening. My husband and I went on several walks around the area to try and position my baby nicely. During these walks I felt some wonderful pressure waves and can only describe them as my body hugging my baby and helping my baby move. They were wonderful to feel. My husband and I also practiced some pelvic movements to try to get our baby in the right position. I also sat on the birthing ball, rotating my hips and listening to the Hypnobabies relaxation music tracks.
At about 1:00am on June 1st the midwife thought I was far enough along to break my water. Once she broke my water my pressure waves become more intense. I decided to take a bath and relax in the warm water. About 40 minutes later my body told me it was time to push. I immediately got out of the bath and laid on my right side and began pushing. I listened to the pushing track during this time. My husband rubbed my back and whispered parts of the script to me to help me stay in deep relaxation. I was amazed at how my body knew it was time to push and soon I would see my baby. Pushing lasted around 40 minutes, I kept my eyes closed, and listened to my body telling me when it was time to push. Between pushing I would rest and stay in deep relaxation. Noah arrived at 3:33am weighing 7 pounds 10 ounces and 21 ¾ inches long. He cried for only a moment and then when he was on my chest immediately was calm and peaceful.
Hypnobabies gave me the birthing experience I was looking for. I didn’t have back pain, I could get up and move around right away, and I was extremely happy and proud. I would recommend Hypnobabies to anyone!!!
