“Hi Janet.. I just wanted to let you know that we had our baby on Saturday morning. I had the most amazing, natural birth.
I started having surges on Wednesday evening and these carried on very steadily over the course of the next two days. I just carried on doing my usual bits and bobs until the surges started becoming more noticeable on Friday night. (My birth partner) and I did a few of the relaxation scripts throughout the night and I used up breathing through every surge.
At around 8.45am I decided to call the hospital as the surges had become more frequent and intense. I still thought at this stage I could be in earlier stages as the surges were so manageable, but I arrived at the hospital at 10.00am to find I was 7cm dilated and within 1 hour 50 mins our baby was born.
We had no interventions and I managed the surges using the hypnobirthing breathing techniques and some gas and air.
Thank you so much for everything. 🥹 I can’t believe the birth that we had, it was perfect and I know it’s all down to hypnobirthing! Xx“
