stressfree childbirth A LETTER FROM LOUISE Hi Daryl, I just wanted to thank-you for all of your help during the hypno-birthing course and to let you know how well everything went for me. Actually, I could hardly believe that everything went so well. If I ever decide to have another bub, then I will definitely be implementing the same techniques. As you know, my reproductive past has been fraught with tragedy. I have experienced multiple miscarriages, and this weighed heavily on my mind when I found out I was pregnant this time around. I was terrified that I would lose this pregnancy as well. The care you took with me to discuss these concerns and the CDs you provided me helped me to resolve my issues. I cannot thank you enough for you kind words, care and concern. During the pregnancy, I found that the relaxation techniques you recommend helped me to avoid the insomnia associated in the final trimester. They helped me to relax and enjoy the pregnancy, and to minimise anxiety. The sign on the door to tell the midwives that I was under-taking a hypno-birth worked brilliantly. They were incredibly respectful of what I was doing, and they were very encouraging. For some reason, I was under the impression that they may be judgemental. However, as I found out, they were very positive about it, especially as I progressed through the labour with no pain relief required. I managed to be completely relaxed during each stage, and I was so pleased that I was able to feel totally in control. I had a terrific birth. There is very little I would change about the whole process. I felt energised and so connected with my baby Ashley, throughout the entire labour. My husband was instrumental in the birth. By following the suggested ways of supporting me, he acted as an intermediary with the midwives so I was able to stay focussed and completely at ease. Its now 4 weeks after the birth of my daughter, and my recovery has been amazing. Because of the personalised CD you made me that reinforced my belief in my ability to cope with a newborn, I have been able to avoid all of the hormonal sadness that I went through with my first-born. You have helped me realise that I have untapped levels of competence. My moods have been so consistent and I have enjoyed the early days with Ashley, my new daughter, without the tears and hormonal swings that I went through with Ryan. So, all in all, the preparation I did for the birth was totally worth it. I am definite that I wouldnt have had such a smooth birth and recovery without the methods that you taught me. Thank you so much for everything you have done for me. Louise I thank Louise for allowing me to publish her unsolicited letter on my web site. - D.W. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
