Just wanted to thank you yet AGAIN!
Steve and I had another bb. Little boy Ollie. Luna is now a big sister!
This birth story comes from Maya and Steve with the birth of Ollie. Their second time hypnobirthing following the birth of Luna 2 whole years ago. Thank you for sharing with us again!
“This birth experience was so different from having Luna, but still beautiful and we couldn’t have done it without hypnobirthing. The main difference was that he was a flipper and wouldn’t stay head down until 38 and a half weeks. And then he didn’t want to come out, so the doctors had to evict him at 41 weeks. They actually scheduled me to be induced at 39 weeks, but I escaped (just didn’t feel right). I still had to be induced at 41, but it felt different and looking back was the right play. He was bigger, more developed, so after birth he is an easier baby to care for.
This is roughly how it went:
- The appointment for induction was scheduled for 1:30PM
- The docs started pitocin at 5PM
- I labored on all fours most of the night besides a 2 hour shower at 11:15PM – this is largely because of hypnobirthing, listening to my body and making decisions based on that.
- They broke my water at 1:42AM
- I was fully dilated to 11+1 at 5:07AM
- Ollie was born at 6:14AM. I pushed him out on all fours too
I didn’t have to have any drugs or epidural besides pitocin until he was born. Then my placenta wouldn’t come out and I was offered Fentanyl for the pain and it seemed to me like the right choice vs avoiding drugs just because. Everything went well and everyone is safely here now.
I really appreciate your work and this class. It helped me and my husband make wise decisions under pressure. It especially helped me relax, work with my body and what it can naturally do”.
