“I put on my tens machine and hypnobirthing tracks, turned off the light in the ensuite and basically swayed for the next 3 hours. I then woke my Partner up and said it was hospital time.

My Dr. arrived shortly after and I asked to be checked. We had agreed to leave it up to me to decide whether I wanted to be checked or not. Turns out I was fully dilated! I was shocked and super proud I was able to stay at home so long. My Dr. dimmed the lights and I closed my eyes and was able to remain calm and relaxed throughout. The room was just lovely! I used multiple positions throughout my labour all in which my Partner, Dr. and midwives assisted me with .. None involved lying on the bed! My Dr. and midwives were truly incredible they were so supportive of my birth preferences and all used hypnobirthing methods!”
