Good Afternoon Kate,
He’s here ♥️ Kai Levi
He arrived 13th May 2020 at 23:40.
Labour was about 20hours: 2 hours of pushing, tolerated 12 hours of natural labour.
We did everything we were taught from our Hypno course - we set the room up, I had my hypno tracks plugged into my ears, we did the acupressure, the breathing excercises, dimmed the room and just the two of us.
Post 12 hours I was only 4cm dilated. I was offered nitrous and thought I would give it a go - it was helpful but it made me feel dizzy. I ended up getting an epidural and was loving life after hahaha, I was like why didn’t I get the epidural earlier!
Now I’m cat napping when I can and enjoying all the new born cuddles.
My husband Mud and I cannot thank you enough we advocate to everyone the positivity and beauty of the hypnobirthing course. What we loved the most is that my husband knew his role and how he can be an active participant.
Take care, all the best and thank you again,
Samantha
