I looked at most your pics, but couldn't read the story because of hypnobabies! I'll be sure to read it after I give birth though! CONGRATS MAMA!

Thanks everyone!
Natalie, I'm confused as to why you can't read it? I did Hypnobabies too and soaked up every natural birth story I could find!

Well I stopped when you said hypnobabies wasn't working during the contractions, and so you stopped using it. I wasn't trying to offend you and hope I didn't....I am just trying to only read the birth stories where hypnobabies was successful, ykwim? Its the bubble of peace thing, it automatically kicks in

Makes perfect sense! Sorry, I wasn't trying to be snarky, I was just curious
FWIW, it definitely DID work on the whole. I got my fast, easy, comfortable birthing and I was definitely relaxed and I enjoyed it! I'm sure it will work well for you, too!

So happy for you! The pictures were really telling and inspiring. I imagine myself laboring just as you were on a similar style couch (except ours is green) and dd sleeping through the night. I'm so impressed that a 9 lber came out so easily! Very very inspiring!
Hope you and your boys are doing well this week!
