Due to a series of events causing anxiety, fear and confusion in a person who feels all of those very easily … we will be giving HypnoBirthing a go for our second baby.

I’ve been reading many books as you all know, on parenting, but have really only just started reading on birth.

I’ve started with the Sears “Birth Book” which is great and I’ve been reading and re-reading the section on VBAC’s as well as visiting The Human Pacifier who often has really great for inspiration with videos there…most of the time I end up crying over.

I’ve had a few others from my Midwife which I’ve read as well.

Over the past year and a bit I’ve been using Meditainment and have found it very useful in calming me down or getting me to sleep, so I feel that HypnoBirthing will probably do the same for me. (I’m just really sad that Meditainment does not have a Birthing section…oh well)

I was born at home. We used to live out in the sticks so many people say. Mum had a long labour and a good midwife.

Dave and I wished for a homebirth (we also live out in the sticks) but for our first we thought we would try out a birthcentre. I lovely place. We tried really hard. We were transfered to hospital…and 42 hours laters Ara arrived into our world.

We will be at the birthcentre again for our next baby …we will learn as much as we can this time about birth.

We’ll start with places like this
