Lina, Peaceful Birthing Mother
My surges started really mild at around 3pm on Monday 15th July. I picked up my daughter, then went to do grocery shopping. Later that night I put my daughter to bed, and it wasn’t until my husband, Francesco, came home from the gym that the surges became stronger. I let him know what was happening and to get everything ready for our baby to come!
” I went to bed to try to sleep, I was listening to the Hypnobirthing Australia self hypnosis track Surge of the Sea. “
I couldn’t sleep but I was able to rest until around 11pm when we decided to go to the hospital. I walked to the birthing suite, the Midwife saw me and advised if things didn’t progress in the next 6 hours then I should probably head back home.
“I handed the midwife our birthing preferences, 3 handwritten pages! I loved this, it was so incredibly helpful. The Midwife read every word, and was so supportive of everything we hoped for. ”
She then suggested I hop in to the shower, where I stayed for quite some time. I then moved over to the bed, I wasn’t lying down, but forward leaning. This was the same as my first birth, and I was so comfortable. A few minutes later, my waters broke and Francesco called the Midwife to tell her. She helped me take my underwear off, and advised us to let them know once I got the sensation to poo. The surges became really strong, and not long after I felt the need to poo so we got the Midwife back, and she started filling the bath.
“But my son didn’t want to wait for the bath to fill! I felt the urge to push, and I just went with it! On all fours, on the bed. The head came out not long after, and the umbilical cord was wrapped around his head three times, it was really long! “
In the preferences I had that I wanted Francesco to catch the baby (but he didn’t know that!!) so the next surge the body was out! I was on my knees, so I put him right up on my chest. We stayed like that for 50 minutes, I then handed him over to my husband and exactly an hour after he was born my placenta was birthed. I took a shower, and I felt so incredible! I didn’t have any tearing. It was perfect! He was born at 1.50am 16th July.
I’m so grateful I did your course, I recommend it 100% to anyone who is pregnant! I’m really glad I did it, especially as it will be my last pregnancy.
My son is growing, feeding so well and sleeping as much as a newborn sleeps, around 3-4 hours at a time.
“Simone – thank you so much I’m so happy with how my birth played out. The birthing preferences was the best tool in my birth and I’m so grateful I did your course. I also encapsulated my placenta and I’m feeling so great! “
Welcome earthside baby Luciano!
