PAM, DAVID AND GRACE'S STORY OCT. 2007
I’m
not quite sure I have words to describe the incredible moments we
experienced during our HypnoBirthing process. It simply was the most
natural, peaceful, serene birth we could ever wish to experience!
From
the moment my water broke, I began using the rainbow relaxation
technique and on the way to the hospital I listened to the
affirmations. I knew I was aligned with the energy of this upcoming
event. I remembered the fear release that we did and reminded myself
softly that my body and my baby knew what to do. This birth didn’t have
to be like my first two.
I
followed all the recommendations when arriving at the hospital and
reviewed my birth plan with my nurse. I got to use the Jacuzzi tub and
the birthing ball to aid in the descent of my baby. We kept the room
very quiet and dim and I remember just staying really connected to my
body, to baby Grace and my husband. It was as if the rest of the
universe didn’t exist during that time. I stayed focused and grateful
that each surge brought me closer to her. Somehow my body told me when
it was time to get off the ball and into bed. I got into the Polar Bear
position and remained there until she was crowning. Then I just used my
breath to aid her final descent and arrival. It was the most magical moment of my life!
I
trusted my body and the HypnoBirthing technique and everything fell
into place. I also wanted to make sure the Anusara invocation was
playing during her first few breaths and although I didn’t have time to
switch my ipod to a speaker, I realized as she lay on my stomach, the
invocation was indeed playing.
It
couldn’t have been more perfect. 4 1/2 hours from the time my water
broke to the moment she was resting on my belly. I am so happy to have
her in my arms but have to say I feel a little sad that this experience
is over. She came out so calm and relaxed. She was able to nurse right
away and remained alert for quite some time after because she didn’t
have to get exposed to any drugs. I wish everyone would learn about
this type of childbirth and realize that it doesn’t have to be dreaded
and painful and that it really can be peaceful and beautiful. I am so
very thankful to BJ for sharing her knowledge of this technique and for
reassuring me that I had the power to make my birthing experience a
positive one.
With Love and Gratitude, Pam, David, & Grace
