It was really hard for me to "let go" during my last birth 17 months ago. It will be 2 years between births, almost exactly, and I hope I've learned enough to be able to fully trust Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10300871326422219242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31166733.post-30767510934193982802010-03-04T10:20:37.282-05:002010-03-04T10:20:37.282-05:00i'm one of those HB moms who had visualized he...i'm one of those HB moms who had visualized her births happening a certain way, and by the Grace of God it did end up happening that way. <br /><br />With baby #3, it seemed as though all hell broke loose.

It was hard - so I thought.<br /><br />Then came my second. 3 minutes less than 12 hours from first contraction to holding my babe.

It was hard to be committed when I had Clementine's birth fresh in my mind. But I think it did help me work through some stuff, get connected with my baby, remember how to relax, and I LOVED the "Come out baby" track.

When I was pregnant with my daughter, I wrote out a positive affirmation that I said every single time I walked by it. I put it on the counter because it was in the middle of the house and I had to make meals some time during the day ;) It helped A LOT! From my positive affirmation, I only had as much pain as I Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08143854230848839726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31166733.post-7614322282042654862010-02-22T20:50:56.433-05:002010-02-22T20:50:56.433-05:00Wishing you a healthy mum and babe, with the best ...Wishing you a healthy mum and babe, with the best experience getting there.Mrs. Spithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03386820063407910064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31166733.post-75485524262870066632010-02-22T16:18:32.689-05:002010-02-22T16:18:32.689-05:00I wish you a fabulous birth and a healthy baby!
M...I wish you a fabulous birth and a healthy baby!<br /><br />My last client went into her second birth TERRIFIED by her first birth. I had worked with her for months to try and help heal the emotions surrounding that birth, but my client never really took it in. When her labor started much the same as her first birth, she practically ASSUMED she would end up with a 2nd c-section.
