"It was such a fantastic birth!!

Cooper Eric  arrived 11.41pm on 18.10.17.

We had to be induced due to the presence of meconium. 

The labour went for 5.5 hours and the only pain relief used was relaxation, visualisation and breathing techniques learned through hypnobubs!

We had multiple things happen which weren't our preference (eg. Unable to birth in the birth centre due to requiring external and later on internal foetal monitoring, having to bear down on the bed with my legs in stirrups due to my son needing to be suctioned out and an episiotomy) but none of that phased me in the slightest as the hypnobubs course had taught me to trust my baby and body with whatever turn my birthing takes.

It was such a fantastic birth! Looking forward to doing it all over again in the future!
