Happy Full Heartsโฅ๏ธWelcome to the world Baby Jake! Our Water Hypnobirthing Story: Cramping pains started to get strong at 11pm so began ACTIVE BIRTHING YOGA POSITIONS in cosy quiet darkness between 3min naps and hydrating. Rang up Midwives in the morning when mucus plug went and they said stay at home for now. With sister support we rode each wave with Baths. Snacks. Hot Water Bottles. Lavender Sensory Sprayโฅ๏ธ ๐งกBy Lunchtime contractions got more frequent and Midwives said come to the hospital. BREATHING TECHNIQUES and Tens Machine helped manage the increasing power surges bringing us closer to our little one๐งก ๐In hospital, sometimes having to wear Covid Protection masks we had an examination to see I was 6cm dilation at 3pm. Got into the warm, weightless Birthing Pool until 8pm listening to our Wedding Playlist Music, low light and low noise, in HYPNOSIS TRANCE, trusting my bodies primal instincts. Then had a check and I was 10cm and my waters went pop๐ ๐Reframing pain with blossoming VISUALISATIONS alongside Gas and Air it was time to get into Labour Land Zone. Knowing women all over the world had and were birthing with me. Singing, chanting, kissing, light touch massage and physical support from our bambinoโs amazing daddy! At 10:40pm it was push baby out time with and meet our our 35.5kg beautiful Boy๐ ๐Placenta was birthed in time and with 2nd degree tears I had lost a lot of blood, 1.3litres. But with stitches, extra iron tablets and daily de-clotting injections we are on the healing path to recovery๐ ๐Our little man had his vitamin k injection, checks, needed Jaundice light treatment and a week of antibiotics in hospital for an infection but we are home now, settling into a new way of life and having our hands constantly full๐ ๐คWith practice we are getting to grips with breast feeding and new sleeping rhythms. The NHS team were angels and all the kind well wishes, gifts and support from friends and family has been such comfort๐ค #lockdownmama #pregnancy #pregnant #mumstobe #birthpreperation #norwichyoga #duein2020 #hypnobirthing #norfolkcoach #pregnancyyoga (at Birth Story) https://www.instagram.com/p/CG5beARjL2O/?igshid=1v1encx7wq404
