It was a nice mix of information about the benefits and stats of a calm, relaxed birth and we even started relaxation practices... it will take some training, but I feel good - I shouldn’t try sitting up with crossed legs because my foot fell asleep!
We walked away with a CD - the first half [25 mins] is just verbal affirmations such as “My body is in control.” “I become increasingly relaxed as my birth progresses.” So yes - cheesy, but I want this stuff ingrained into my subconsious!
So the second half of the disc is a 25 minute “hypnosis/deep relaxation” that I’ll listen to before bed every night. The same woman simply talks about waves of relaxation moving over parts of your body and as I got comfy, I listened and tried to put my mind there... well it worked because I don’t even remember getting to the end of the session!
I’ve got these bad boys on my iPod and plan on taking it to the hospital with me!
Let’s do this!
